2013 Energy Consumption

[230K]

Hi

Following a thread from last new years day I measured my energy consumption for the year.

Oil 1797 Litres @57.2p/litre
Electric 6427 Kwh @18.039p/unit
Gas 1401 m3 @54.4p/m3

This is for a household of 7 living in a 150 yr old 4000sqf house.


Total cost of £2949

Did anyone else measure theirs?

My rolling year energy measurement can't be done until 2nd Feb - I'll try to remember to return here to update then.

I think you missed a rather large bit. Capital spend to achieve FiT?

How many panels ?

max 16 panels, 8 on east facing roof and 8 on west facing roof, ideally its should be south facing, my FIT would have been somewhere in the region of £1600/annum

Yes agreed! Calculated pay back time is around 8years.

But government guarantee 25years index linked payment, and energy prices are on the increase year on year!
Since installing my solar panels, I've instructed my wife to use the washing machine/vacuum in mid afternoon, make the most of the free energy.

Lowest ever electric bill I paid in July was under £17

Not to mention I am saving the world resources, so AMG could carry on producing their V8 engines

What time have you instructed her to have your dinner on the table ?

On the bright side…….

2014 - much less than 2015 will be
