Reminders

The data received from your school's main gas meter has been incorrect since 27/12/25. This has been raised with your supplier to investigate. In the meantime, the recent gas data has been removed from your dashboard.

Please note that we are using a tariff set at the group-level to calculate your school's cost savings. It will provide an indicator as to how much your school is paying for your energy and the cost savings you can expect to make but it will not exactly match the tariffs and rates you pay on your invoices.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 35 kW in the winter to 26 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 £2,400 annually.

Your school could save £1,700 each year if the heating set temperature was reduced by 1°C
