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

Review progress

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 18 kW in the winter to 13 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 £2,800 annually.
