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 850 kWh of gas and 5,700 kWh of electricity in the Summer 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £1,700 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 23 kW in the winter to 7.1 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £9,800 annually.
