Tracking long term trends in your school's electricity use can help you to monitor your overall progress towards reducing your electricity costs and carbon emissions.
Viewing your electricity use over a whole year or more can help identify any seasonal variations in your usage and do forward planning.
Period | Usage (kWh) | CO2 (kg/CO2) | Cost (£) | Change since previous year |
---|---|---|---|---|
15 Sep 2024 - 07 Apr 2025 | 340,000 | 54,000 | £51,000 | - |
As we have less than a years worth of data for your school we are not yet able to benchmark your electricity consumption against other schools. This comparison will become available on 14 Sep 2025.
A well managed school with the same number of pupils will use 560,000kWh of electricity in a year.
For more detail, compare with other schools in your group
To fully determine the causes of the changes in your electricity consumption you should review how consumption has changed month by month and look in more detail at how your baseload and peak electricity consumption have changed.

Consumption costs are calculated based on the unit prices of energy and do not take into account standing charges or other fees.
Tariffs may be based on MAT or Local Authority averages, or an Energy Sparks default, if your school has not provided their actual tariffs.
Consumption costs are estimated based on historic tariff information.
Future savings are estimates based on your school's latest tariff information.
Potential cost savings quoted in school comparisons, e.g. for comparable "well managed" and "exemplar" schools are also based on your school's current tariffs.
School comparisons are based on benchmarking your school against comparable schools based on the characteristics outlined below.
"Exemplar" schools represent the top 17.5% of Energy Sparks schools
"Well managed" schools represent the top 30% of Energy Sparks schools
