Gas & Electricity

[Phil1]

Just had a potential bonus about this. My neighbour opposite usually turns his house into the Griswold house at Christmas. Looks horrendous and is bright as fuck.

I hope these increased prices makes him think twice this year.

If you’re on Langley I’d imagine the wise man is getting his electric supply from other, err, means..

Best decision you ever made. Will save you a fortune.

Pure luck in timing to be honest, we were just coming to the end of a 3 year fix with them when they sent me an offer via email. We jumped from £76 a month to (now) £130 a month which seemed a huge jump but we'd had the low price for 3 years so seemed fair. We'd be struggling like fuck now, let alone in the near future if it hadn't dropped on us. I do use the comparison sites for everything mind.

Can people please stop posting things like "My bill was £72 last month". Start quoting in terms of £KWH and how many KWH you're expecting to use. Otherwise it's just nonsense numbers that mean very little to anyone.

It's not nonsense to me. Though I get what your saying. KWH is the bit that confuses me. Maybe I'm just a bit thick

Presuming you're using an online account, Kilo Watts per Hour will be how it's displayed.

no it's not just you.

I actually just divide the bill by the meter readings and get my own kind of unit value.

We need to frack out our own gas. Need a political party to get behind fracking and renewable energy and aim to be fully self-sustainable asap. The object being to then nationalise it in its entirety and supply affordable energy to all at cost rates and not spunk billions out to share holders and overpaid chief executives.

The wind turbines being built and those that have been approved paint a pretty positive picture actually, we're already at 25% of our need (which is a doubling from 6 years ago) with some huge farms coming online over the next few years. The aim is to be around 50% through wind power alone by 2030. Not sure fracking would be quicker than that (in fact The Guardian say we'd only get 1% of our needs). For reference, gas is currently around 33%.

I don’t mean to be pedantic but it’s not kW per hour. It’s kilowatt hours. Kilowatts are already a rate so they are multiplied by a time to give a total quantity of energy used.

A watt is a joule per second. Joules are the international standard for units of energy. A kWh is 3,600,000 Joules.

Love these uncomplicated billing calculations.

It's to confuse the fuck out of us so we just pay up.

Of course it is, my bad. Pedant away bud :)
