Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your electricity usage

Review progress

Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your gas usage!

Review progress

Last weekend 4,900 kWh of gas was used costing £700. Switch off the heating at the weekend to save energy!

Find out more

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 96 kW in the winter to 63 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. Change heating settings to save £27,000 annually.
