With FIT you get paid for every kWh generated no matter how you use it, you also get additional payments if you export.

And that is still the case with Octopus. The only thing that has changed recently is that the maximum charge time for your car is 6 hours in 24. If your car had charged during peak times for say 5 hours and continued to charge for a further 3 hours during the off peak time you would be charged...

This gets into an interesting area, the companies are charging for energy based on readings from a non calibrated / approved device which I believe is illegal.

So many things are different up Norf! It seemed logical what they said and I'm happy to go along with it. I have my post op check on the 28th April and my left eye being sorted on 1st May. Tut tut , still a rebellious teenager at heart eh? :D :D The only symptom I have at the moment is very...

They explained to me that they did go down the bilateral route for a year or two it shortened the patient overall healing time from 12 weeks to 4 weeks, used up slightly less of their time and they avoided infection by different batch numbers of consumables for each eye treating them as separate...

Well I have to say I’m most impressed. I watched YouTube to death on the subject and it looked pretty gory, my wife was completely traumatised last year when she had hers done. I was pretty much open minded very relaxed and most painful part was removing the sterile sheet afterwards. My pupil is...

I wanted to do bilateral but they wouldn’t do them both at the same time. They’re concerned about infections etc.

It was my right eye, left eye in 4 weeks.

Aye it is, I was shocked in that a) it was under 2 days away and b) they were working on Good Friday. It worked out well for me because wifey isnt working and can therefore convey me to and from the hospital.

I'm pretty sure I saw this week Truck Chargers are being installed in a few places, 1.5 MW, that's quite a charge rate! I quite like the idea of the catenary system being trialled in Germany. Trucks on motorways and major routes can connect onto a catenary system to charge the batteries and...

Well, this growing old malarky keeps turning up surprises. For the last 2 years of eye tests I've had developing cataracts, 2 in each eye just to be different. On Wednesday this week I had my referral appointment to have my cataracts assessed. They confirmed they were ready for doing now. When I...

It's not all it's quacked up to be in this thread.

Yes, good point, well raised. I've just installed one of the new Zappi Glo's for my son and his newly aquired Tesla Model 3. The installation was a breeze, the forms from the DNO not too onerous and as we knew the main fuse size, earthing arrangement and the Zappi was approved we only had to...

If you have the option, cancel / return that wallbox. Units like this and many others are not recognised by the top EV tariff providers and therefore you wouldn't be able to use them. Intelligent Octopus GO is currently one of the cheapest at 3.49p off peak for 6 hours as well as other charging...

It seems ridiculous to me that our energy prices are tied to 'Global Markets'. IF thats the case why is our energy the most expensive amongst European countries? Surely theyre on the Global Market too?
