Recent alerts
Last year your school's average peak electricity consumption was 47 kW. The best performing schools of a similar size have an average peak consumption of 29 kW. Can you investigate and discover why your peak use is so high?
There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 6.4 kW in the winter to 2.5 kW in the summer. This suggests heating is left running overnight during the winter. This can either be electric heating, or other types of heating that requires electricity for pumps or fans. Talk to the site manager to change heating settings to save £1,200 annually.
