Last year you used 4,400 kWh of gas and 4,000 kWh of electricity in the Easter 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £1,300 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 17 kW in the winter to 9.2 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 £3,500 annually.
