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

Review progress

Last year you used 2,400 kWh of gas and 2,000 kWh of electricity in the Spring half term 2025 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £370 this year. 

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 10 kW in the winter to 5.4 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 £780 annually.
