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

Review progress

Last year you used of gas and 880 kWh of electricity in the Xmas 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £210 this year. 

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 4.5 kW in the winter to 1.9 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 £830 annually.
