If every household installed just one energy saving light bulb, the electricity saved in a year could power the Blackpool Illuminations for nearly 900 years and there would be enough carbon dioxide saved to fill the Royal Albert Hall 1,980 times!

Did you know that over £900 million worth of energy is wasted by leaving appliances on standby, so do your bit and don't leave your TV or other appliances on standby, and switch off chargers at the wall if they are not being used.

Get SET – Saving Energy Together

Rugeley Power Station has developed the Get S.E.T. (Saving Energy Together) programme which is aimed at transforming Staffordshire primary school children into eco-warriors by showing them how to conserve energy at school.

Get Set January

Education staff from the Power Station have developed a free 5-session outreach programme for pupils aged 9-11 years. Over the course of five workshops an Education Officer works with a class to complete five Get SET missions culminating in a special “Get SET, Keep Cool” campaign week. Pupils record metre readings before and during the campaign week to see if they can successfully save energy in their school.

For further information please download the attached Get SET leaflet found below.

If you are interested in taking part in the Get SET Programme and your school lies within an approximate half-hour travel time of the Station please contact Katie Busfield at the Power Station on 07989 492768/01889 572100.
