Don’t forget folks if you are not on a smart meter send a reading in today.
The new lower price cap,starts today.
Don’t miss out.

Do they not just automatically charge you the new.lower tarriff ?

Do they not just automatically charge you the new.lower tarriff ?

Yes but you need to log what your meter readings were at the changeover otherwise they could say you used more at the higher rate than you actually did.

Only if you are on a smart meter and trust them.

Missed this the other week, worlds largest battery storage given permission on outskirts of manchester.

Planning permission granted for world’s largest battery energy storage scheme - The Engineer

Planning permission has been granted for the world’s largest battery energy storage scheme (BESS), a 1GW (1040MW/2080MWh) Carlton Power project located at the Trafford Low Carbon Energy Park in Greater Manchester.

Luckily these batteries never catch fire….

with interest rates climbing high they will love all these credits.....it's a scandal

That, and they pay in advance for fuel contracts to lock in prices for them - so if all their DD customers are a few quid in credit it gives them a nice cash float to play with. Once again the 'free market' creates a cartel rather than a competition.

My deal runs out at the end of August so I'll then be in the real world. Any tips from you eagle eyed cherries? Do I sit back and fo nothing for a while or jump in and lock into another 2/3 year deal? ?

Why these people are still seeking funding is beyond me. This is by far one of the best medium term energy storage options and there are shit loads of mine shafts in the north of england and east midlands where they could install them and the grid connection infrastructure is also there as its where most of the coal fired power stations were.

Batteries are ok for short term but not environmentally friendly and green Hydrogen for much longer term but isnt very energy efficient, but this to me hits the sweet spot.

Highview have started work at Trafford energy park so I guess they’ve got the funding stream in place for that project.

They should have made it 1.21GW.

You'd need a bolt of lightning for that and no one knows when or where they strike
