Switch-Off Week

A dedicated Switch-Off week is taking place from July 11–17 across all of our sites, in support of our business plan commitment to reduce energy usage.



The Switch-Off week is an opportunity to encourage good practice and highlight areas where we can all contribute to managing our energy use effectively.

WPD’s Estates Manager David Withers said: “Desk fans, lights and heaters are all manually controlled and making sure we switch these items off during the day when they are not needed and at the end of each day, will all contribute to reducing consumption.

“We hope this campaign will bring about long lasting changes in behaviours that become second nature to everyone.”

Stark Energy Data Services will analyse the results of the week in July and report back to individual nominated site owners on how their depot has performed during the week. All sites have energy dashboards which provide site consumption patterns and changes.

The campaign is also part of a wider programme of initiatives to reduce consumption and support the move towards a low carbon network and maintain affordability for customers.
