Reminders

Your school's recent gas data is missing. This is because we have been receiving it on a very intermittent basis since 12/07/26. Your school has switched gas suppliers and we have sent a data request to your new supplier to restore data access. Please note that your school has used a biomass boiler in the past and we are unable to display this energy usage on Energy Sparks. The gas is a back-up if the biomass boiler isn't working or is running low on pellets. The school switches off the biomass boiler at the end of April and the school uses the mains gas supply to heat the school's hot water during the warmer months as it is more efficient than using the biomass boiler.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 30.9 kW in the winter to 22.2 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 £3,660 annually.
