Reminders

Please note that we are using a tariff set at the group-level to calculate your school's cost savings. It will provide an indicator as to how much your school is paying for your energy and the cost savings you can expect to make but it will not exactly match the tariffs and rates you pay on your invoices.

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

Review progress
There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 35.9 kW in the winter to 21.9 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 £5,430 annually.
