St Peter’s Primary School discovered a costly problem: computers, screens, and heaters were left running overnight and on weekends.
St Peter’s Primary School was wasting energy every night and weekend, computers, screens and heaters left running for hours. Their electricity bills were soaring, even with solar panels installed. By installing measurable.energy’s AI-powered smart sockets, the school: -Cut energy costs by 25–40% -Saved £7,000–£8,000 per year -Achieved an 18-month payback . Automated plug power control with zero disruption for staff. The smart sockets switch equipment off at 6pm and back on at 7am—no behaviour change required. Plus, students love the LED indicators that show when the school is running on solar power. The Diocese of Chelmsford is now rolling the solution out across more schools after the success of this pilot.
