Reminders

Due to a recent change in electricity supplier, we have been unable to access the recent electricity data for the Orchard Centre and English/6th Form meters. We have requested the data from your new supplier and will update your account in due course. For the time being your account only shows the electricity consumption for the main meter (approximately 90% of your total usage). Additionally, please note we are showing data for the Orchard Centre gas meter from the 1st January 2024 onward as that was when this meter was upgraded. Gas data before this point does not include the Orchard Centre gas meter. Also we have been unable to access gas data for the Performing Arts and Languages building for December 2024, so your usage during this month does not include this meter.
