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

Review progress

Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your gas usage!

Review progress

Last year you used 120,000 kWh of gas and 26,000 kWh of electricity in the Easter 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £16,000 this year. 

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 10% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £20,000 more over the next year.
