Bad News!  Your school's electricity use in the Summer half term 2025 holidays has increased by 13% compared to Summer half term 2024. Between Saturday 24 May 2025 and Sunday 1 Jun 2025 you used 1,900 kWh at a cost of £530.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 11 kW in the winter to 7 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £2,500 annually.
