 Watch out - term time electricity use has increased by 9.4%, costing an extra £380 each week. Get your Energy Team on the case!

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 85 kW in the winter to 44 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 £40,000 annually.
