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

Review progress

Annual electricity consumption has increased by 20,000 kWh compared to last year. What can you switch off to make a difference?

Find out more

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 7.5 kW in the winter to 14 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 £97 annually.
