A two hour switch off of unused electrical items organised by Aberystwyth University has shown that University could save up to £40,000 a year on its electricity bill.
The Great Switch Off was organised by the University as part of Wales Sustainability Week. All the staff and students were invited to turn off non essential equipment for a two hour period on Monday 17 May. The biggest cut was achieved by the Department of International Politics with a 24.8% drop in electricity consumption.
