We are only showing gas data for your school's main gas meter as your school has opted not to upgrade the other gas meter that serves the Food Technology Room. This is a minor meter. Please note that your gas data includes the majority of your gas consumption but is not representative of your total consumption.

Review progress

Last year you used 25,000 kWh of gas and 4,300 kWh of electricity in the Xmas 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £1,400 this year. 

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 27% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £2,100 more over the next year.
