Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your electricity and storage heater usage

Review progress

The storage heaters use 2,000 kWh running during the school holidays when the school is normally empty. This costs £340. At weekends the storage heaters use 1,000 kWh which costs £170. Check the timers to save energy.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 4.8 kW in the winter to 2.3 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 £430 annually.
