whilst it is true there could be some massaging going on..... its only 60% of an energy reduction, if so that would mean almost 200kwh per day to heat the pool.
another option , close to OC ethics
Tiny data centre used to heat public swimming pool
doesn't say how many Kwh those racks generate, or what are they
( for domestic use > https://www.pugetsystems.com/mineral-oil-pc/ can maybe re-distribute the heat more effectively .... how do you upgrade)
I might be mistaking you with another poster, but weren't you saying all winter "I don't care what it costs, I'm not changing my habits"?I was expecting a fairly hefty bill this quarter, but after submitting the reading just now it was a bit of an "ouch" moment....
UI think it must be someone else, the main, expected and unavoidable usage in the winter is heating outdoor kennels for 10 dogs, which even prior to us falling out with Russia was costly. But given the house and workshops are oil heated, it's still a ridiculous increase over 3 years ago.
The wife reminded me a few minutes ago that although it's a hefty bill, if I gave up drinking it would nearly cover all the electric bill. The conversation degenerated rapidly from there....
It's £16.58 a day, £8.49 each, which sounds a bit better <LOL>
To be fair, I think thats a quarterly billYou've paid in one one months electricity what I would pay in two and a half years.

Isn't the bill over 90 days so £20.63ish a day? You use in two and half days what I use in a month electric wise! That bill is about the same as what my 3yrs would be...mental. I can't imagine ever having a bill that high tbh.I think it must be someone else, the main, expected and unavoidable usage in the winter is heating outdoor kennels for 10 dogs, which even prior to us falling out with Russia was costly.

I worked it out in my head and probably used 4 instead of 3 months by the look of it. So a tenner or so each a day.
I am not sure what the electricity company regard as "a quarter", probably something bizarre and of course to their benefit
I was thinking this is what he was referring to
Post your actual energy usage
That's an extraordinary jump in elec costs. Mine is up 20% and I am in one of the worlds most expensive cities in the world amid the "cost of living crisis" and just did some calcs, pretty much half the cost per kwh here. As a nation we still burn a lot of gas to generate our electricity...
I am working longer hours than I had hoped to at my age though, so as to buffer the increased cost of living.
