eating, fair enough. but washing, drying, dishwasher, ganga farm lights can all be shifted, or isn't that possible either?

Cannabis farm busted a few doors down from my mum. I didn't understand what was going on. There was a police car parked up for a couple of days while UK Power Networks were doing their work

How odd

Then another neighbour tells the story of how the "farmers" tapped into a live cable and were stealing leccy that way for the lights and whole set up.

Washing machine and dishwasher goes on entirely at random at mine. No fixed pattern. Which means a saving sessions yields way too little to even bother

They hammer 6" nails into the respective feeds before the meter usually.

Mega dangerous but they don't care.

Doesn't seem cheap. I'm getting 16 x panels and a 13.5 KW Tesla 3 powerwall for £12500 (and the battery is being put in an outbuilding 20 meters away at the bottom of the garden so not a straightforward install)

Can I ask where you got that quote from I’m looking into solar and that quote sounds pretty good.

My actual quote from octopus is 10680 for 14 panels and a 5kw battery, which I think is reasonable, however Elroys does look good.

That's about £1K for the panels, £2K for the battery, £1K for the inverter. Fitting/scaffolding/etc is hardly free, but I'd certainly get some other quotes.

My November bill, average 14.8p kwh, pleased with that.
My entire electric bill is less than our old petrol/diesel bill!

That's good on tracker I got 21.54

Mine on IOG is about 9ppkwh

[KTF]

IOG for November for me was 11.XXp average.

It’s normally single digit average but Solar reason is over so importing a bit more from the grid now.

Still an excellent result all the same.

Tomato energy. Was 5p unless that’s changed recently.

Thanks, standing charge is also very good, seems too good to be true, might give them a whirl.

I defected to them from Agile 10 days ago. All good so far.

I’ve just swapped to Tomatoenergy, so I have the challenge of finding a good value gas supplier.

Assuming some of you are in the same position, who’ve been best on mains gas only supply?

Is the tomato energy app as intuitive and easy to use as the octopus app?

I don’t think they have one! I left my gas with Octopus tracker.

I think it’s all done online, it feels a bit like an app to navigate. That said, I’ve only just swapped so can’t see any info yet and still in the changeover period.
