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

Review progress

Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your gas usage!

Review progress

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 35% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £3,100 more over the next year.

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 11 kW in the winter to 5.1 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 £1,100 annually.
