Bad News!  Your school's electricity use in the Easter 2026 holidays has increased by 23% compared to Easter 2025. Between Saturday 28 Mar 2026 and Sunday 12 Apr 2026 you used 1,400 kWh at a cost of £190. This is an increase of 250 kWh compared to the same period in the holidays last year and released an extra 30 kg CO2.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 7.1 kW in the winter to 2.9 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 £1,200 annually.
