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

Review progress

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 23 kW in the winter to 39 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 £270 annually.

Last week, electricity used at night decreased by 29% compared to the average over the last year. Keep this up and the school will save £11,000 over the next year.
