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.

We have limited energy data for your school. You can enter monthly consumption data to show progress against any targets set or observe changes in consumption over a longer period of time.

Supply historical manual readings
Last week the school's electricity baseload was 10.3% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £8,400 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 88.9 kW in the winter to 53.8 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 £11,200 annually.
