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

Review progress

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 58% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £12,000 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 14 kW in the winter to 7.5 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 £1,600 annually.
