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

Review progress

Watch out! Up to Thursday 17 Jul 2025 the school used 260 kWh of electricity during this holiday, which has cost £53 and generated 31 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 2,000 kWh, costing £400 and generating 230 kg CO2.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 3.9 kW in the winter to 2.1 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 £250 annually.
