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

Review progress

Last year you used 1,800 kWh of gas and 2,200 kWh of electricity in the Easter 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £580 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 10 kW in the winter to 4.1 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 £3,400 annually.
