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

Review progress

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 12% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £6,300 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 44 kW in the winter to 27 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 £8,300 annually.
