	RE: Who's your electricity provider and what's your tariff? By Jeff, 2 weeks ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	I am pleased to see the change. We definitely need to see suppliers move away from tariff that are financially unviable just to chase customer numbers and company valuations. Else customers will mak...
	RE: is a home battery without an EV worth it? By JamesPa, 2 weeks ago Forum Energy Storage

	RE: Electricity price predictions By Jeff, 2 weeks ago Forum Electricity, Tariffs, Monitoring & Providers
	The day ahead price is just that. The price traded for a small amount of electricity the day ahead. It is not the price of all electricity used the next day. Most electricity is bought well in advance...
	RE: is a home battery without an EV worth it? By AdamK, 2 weeks ago Forum Energy Storage
	@jamespa yeah I’m only showing the min wage we’ve set as a country not for individual trades. I’m surprised they are saying an electrician only gets £12.11-13.84, no wonder so many people want to work...

	RE: is a home battery without an EV worth it? By AdamK, 2 weeks ago Forum Energy Storage
	@downfield I think the reason we pay more is import duties VAT and a high min wage. For comparison Germanys min wage is £11.05, France £10.23, ours is £12.21. This has an upward pressure on everything...
	RE: A Customer's Lessons Learnt from a Heat Pump Installation in a Large House By JamesPa, 2 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Er that's true of boilers also, except the long term costs are 100% guaranteed certain and manifest themselves as climate change. Heating, it seems, is fundamentally costly, perhaps we should invest ...

	@drei my career has been in Procurement so dealing with lifetime costs is part of my DNA. For our install the annual service cost will basically be the same as our current boiler and pressurised cylin...
	RE: A Customer's Lessons Learnt from a Heat Pump Installation in a Large House By DREI, 2 weeks ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
