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

Review progress

Last year you used 1,100 kWh of gas and 950 kWh of electricity in the Summer half term 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £180 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 4.3 kW in the winter to 3.3 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 £310 annually.
