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

Review progress

Last year you used 11,000 kWh of gas and 7,400 kWh of electricity in the Xmas 2023 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £2,100 this year. 

Watch out! Up to Friday 27 Dec 2024 the school used 2,600 kWh of electricity during this holiday, which has cost £540 and generated 300 kg CO2. Make sure lights and electrical equipment are switched off to prevent further waste.

If you choose to leave electrical equipment running, by the end of the holidays you will have used 5,800 kWh, costing £1,200 and generating 630 kg CO2.
