Energy Prices
Del_UK It already is but I do not have that copy, I doubt it has changed much !!!
I was brought up on the 14th edition and worked my way through up to the 17th but did not delve much into the 18th. Done the testing and inspecting. I used to enjoy the regs but the old memory is not what it used to be.
- Edited
I think the regs can become so complicated that inexperienced sparkies can misinterpret them and cost their customers money. The unscrupulous can also misuse them, especially around diversity calculations…. induction cooker fitting jobs anyone….
Meldrew I can sympathise with the memory bit
Not sure if this has been talked about, but I was chatting to someone I know who owns 8 petrol stations, and simply because of two factors, a) they work on a GP% and b) there is no longer any competition, he is making an absolute fortune.
With there only being a small handful of gas and electric suppliers, what incentive, or stick is there to force them to lower prices. This is then added to the government collecting taxes based on % so simply the higher the price to consumers the more goes in to the coffers
On the news!! three London boroughs cannot build anymore houses for a decade / 2035
because the data centres in the area have taken up all the available power supplies and it will take a decade to upgrade the infrastructure.
Apparently data centres use more power than thousands of homes.
Hillingdon , Healing and Hounslow.
I wonder if the data centres are worried about the rising prices🤣
Elcarajillo I used to work in a data centre in the Docklands area of London, which had more backup generator capacity than the whole of the island of Malta. Just one building!

It’s quite incredible how much energy is used up by data centres, cloud storage, the internet etc. You never hear this talked about anywhere. Funny that
Elcarajillo Wouldn’t be surprised if it lasts longer. That stretch is such a prime area for DCs there’s a lot of land already bought waiting for the power to come along.
Bagging capacity is big business, they’ll be watching like hawks until the right time.
Two Days. Up £40 a month.
This is over double what we are paying at the moment.
So the price cap will go up (based on info today) to approx. £3,500 a year from October. An 80% increase on our projected annual cost is a little under £4,600 projected annual.
Not worth fixing I don’t think.
Martin Lewis says don’t fix unless the offered price is less than 70/75% of your current rate. It is the best I have got to go on.

Can we swear on this forum yet….
PortafilterProcrastinator Taking the piss…we should start an energy saving tips thread, I got a few nuggets, which have and will, save me money.
DavecUK I’m all ears.
I have a feeling my mantra this winter will be ‘put (another) jumper on’.
