Energy and water use in DFID

We collect information automatically from our meters and transmit this every half hour to a central data capture point. This is then updated on this page so that you can see how much energy and water we are using.  This will gradually build up to give long-term trends on performance.

The data is available in terms of kWh, costs, and CO2e. 
These are based on the following:

1 Palace Street
Electricity: Day - 7.2p per kWh
  Night - 4.7p per kWh
Gas: 1.4p per kWh
Water: £1.14 per Cubic Meter
   
Abercrombie House
Electricity: Day - 8.0p per kWh
  Night - 4.9p per kWh
Natural Gas: 1.5p per kWh
   

Carbon Conversion Factors

Electricity: 0.541 kgCO2e per kWh
Natural Gas: 0.184 kgC02e per kWh
