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

Review progress

Gas use in the Easter 2026 holidays has increased by 46% compared to Easter 2025. 

Between Saturday 4 Apr 2026 and Sunday 19 Apr 2026 you used 30,000 kWh of gas at a cost of £910. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is still an increase of 9,500 kWh and 1,700 kg CO2. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.
