Last weekend 3,100 kWh of gas was used costing £160. Switch off the heating at the weekend to save energy!

Bad News!  Your school's electricity use in the Spring half term 2025 holidays has increased by 61% compared to Spring half term 2024. Between Saturday 15 Feb 2025 and Sunday 23 Feb 2025 you used 17,000 kWh at a cost of £3,700. This is an increase of 6,300 kWh compared to the same period in the holidays last year and released an extra 450 kg CO2.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 76 kW in the winter to 30 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 £20,000 annually.

Annual electricity consumption has increased by 89,000 kWh compared to last year. What can you switch off to make a difference?
