Reminders

We are currently showing electricity data for the Main College electricity meter only. The boathouse and chapel meters are not providing data to Energy Sparks but these are very small supplies compared to the main electricity meter. Your gas meter does not have AMR which means that we are unable to receive any gas data. We would suggest that you contact your supplier to ask for a meter upgrade to allow for data to be displayed on your Energy Sparks dashboard.
