Reminders

We currently have access to up-to-date data from your main electricity meter (MPAN 1100039632587). The data from your two very minor electricity meters lags behind, and only updates sporadically. We are displaying gas data from 3 of your 4 gas meters. We have requested the data for the remaining gas meter, and will add it to your account once it becomes available. Therefore please keep in mind that the displayed usage data represents the majority, but not the entirety, of your energy use.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 60 kW in the winter to 29 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 £9,900 annually.
