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

Review progress

Last year you used 11,000 kWh of gas and 17,000 kWh of electricity in the Summer 2025 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £2,900 this year. 

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 50% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £12,000 more over the next year.
