[Finance] What is your February energy bill ?

[jackanada]

£160 before any rebate. With £67 rebate and qualifying for warm home thingy of £150 I'm in credit for February.
For that following such things that's Ovo energy. Small 30s semi. 3 kids so plenty of cooking and washing and a missus at home all day. Lucky she's hardy.

That’s really low compared to us. Well done.

Is the house kept warm all day and evening 7 days a week, baths for all, with a stack of washing and tumble drying?

No it ranges from cold to kin cold, I'm told. Baths are shared and tumble drying is non existent.
Food prices have been a far bigger impact than energy for us. Just the dairy bill is massive - 1kg of butter, 2.5kg cheese, and 4 gallons milk each week and the fruit trough empties at a punitive rate.

Still got over £600 in credit, think I've been overpaying for a few years I do have solar but can't think they've been generating much recently.

And yet gas is at an 18 month low us brits really do bend over and take it.

That reminds me to travel with my Brit mate next time I'm in Chicago at the Second City Theater.

At the end of April I will be having a 10.4 kWh solar panel array installed. Taking the total to 14.4 kWh as I already have 4 kWh on my roof. Hopefully, I will never have an electricity bill ever again.

How much is the 10.4 array costing? I've got 4kw and would love some more panels .

Not cheap as I am having the array built at the bottom of my garden. Generally, for the roof it would have been around €21k. However, the ground work is going to cost me another €11k. So much digging and concreting. But it will mean I get, in the summer, at least 10kWh for at least 15 hours a day plus the 4kWh I already have on my roof.

The 2 previous summers with just my 4kWh on the roof meant that I did not get an energy bill in over 5 months. So, with the additional 10.4kWh panels I do not expect to get and energy bills ever again, or water bills come to that as we have an electric pump connected to out 150 metre deep well.
