Reminders

Please note that the gas data we are displaying for December 2024 is only for your main site meter and the Orchard Centre. Due to a switch in supplier we experienced a data lag and we are working to backfill the gas meter data for the Performing Arts and Languages building for December. Also please note we are only showing data for the Orchard Centre gas meter from the 1st January 2024 onward as this meter was only upgraded then. Gas data before this point does not include the Orchard Centre gas meter

Please note that your Trust's gas data is estimated between the 28th of February and 31st of March 2024 due to a data issue with your supplier, we are in touch with your supplier to resolve this
