We have limited energy data for your school. You can enter monthly consumption data to show progress against any targets set or observe changes in consumption over a longer period of time.

Supply historical manual readings

Bad News!  Your school's electricity use in the Summer half term 2026 holidays has increased by 22% compared to Summer half term 2025. Between Saturday 23 May 2026 and Saturday 30 May 2026 you used 1,200 kWh at a cost of £180. This is an increase of 220 kWh compared to the same period in the holidays last year and released an extra 73 kg CO2.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 9.9 kW in the winter to 4.9 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 £930 annually.
