Hey Team! - The amount of electricity your school uses overnight is high. Over the last year you used on average 42.5 kW. In other schools like yours (similar number of pupils), this baseload is 37.6 kW. Can you bring your baseload down, and save the school £6,410?
Whoa - last week the amount of electricity you use overnight increased. If this keeps happening it will cost you £16,300 more over the next year. Time to investigate, Energy Team!
