Reminders

Please note we are currently experiencing issues with receiving electricity data from EDF. This may cause a lag in your displayed electricity data. We are working with EDF to rectify this issue. Please note we are only 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.

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 previous supplier

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

Review progress

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

Review progress

Last year you used 1,300 kWh of gas and 61,000 kWh of electricity in the Summer 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £14,000 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 100 kW in the winter to 49 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 £25,000 annually.
