RE: Do we really need a mass upgrade of electricity infrastructure at the level we have been told, or even home batteries?
By JamesPa, 2 weeks ago |

I agee with that. I suspect however that the structure of the electricity industry and the political nightmare a postcode lottery electricity supply would represent means that, while doubtless technic... | ||

That wasn't quite what I was trying to suggest. My point is that I have no idea whether my local area is being put under greater strain by me either importing loads or exporting loads. At any given ti... | ||

You’re not smoking the wrong dope... in fact, you’re puffing on the stuff more people probably should be inhaling when it comes to realistic grid planning. I think you’ve hit on something really impor... | ||

My personal assumption, which I consider to be 'safe' is that everyone acts either purely selfishly or not at all, with the latter forming the majority. Perhaps this is unduly pessimistic but I can't... | ||

I agree. I believe the take up of ToU is quite low, so there will probably have to be both stick and carrot. To date thought processes seem to have been focussed on decentralised carrot (ToU pricing) ... | ||

I recall ages ago reading a report/analysis that worked out how much upgrade we needed based on working exactly as gas. So huge morning and evening peaks adding house heating to 60C with low COP to no... | ||
