A site for microgeneration projects

I should add, this site is not complete, and will be added to on an ad hock basis as and when I have time

I had our quarterly electric bill the other day (this was probably 2007ish), which asked for £136!!! Which I thought was far too high. Anyway after checking my meter reading I found it read less now than when it was read three months ago :o). Boy did I have a hard job explaining that to the electric company. I still ended up having to pay about £18 in standing charges :o(

From 18th March 2007 - 19th March 2008 we have generated 2837.48kW of green power
(Approx 7.77kW per day)

Good energy charges from our bill dated 5th September 2008

9th June 2008 actual meter reading 1583 (from energy suppliers meter)

initially paying 12.64p/kWh
then rose to 14.93p/kWh

Standing charge was 13.04p/day
then dropped to 12.53p/day

All plus 5% VAT

For the quarter we paid £36.83

Good energy charges from our bill dated 6th June 2008

1st April 2008 actual meter reading 1389 (from energy suppliers meter)

paying 12.64p/kWh

Standing charge 13.04p/day

All plus 5% VAT
