lol they got you good manThat option just brings long term negative consequences through energy companies moving investment to other countries.
When I went away for the weekend in April our smart meter recorded 3.6kwh per day which was about 60p/day. The main things left running were two fridge freezers, router and nas.Interested to know what you lot get from a baseline electricity usage?
I'm talking about nothing actively on. But with things like TV on standby, router on, fridge and freezer on.
Looks like I'm hitting 100W or 2p an hour on my new smart meter.
I'd say this is... Normal?
Great comebacklol they got you good man
BP gonna exit the market cause they only made £2bn and not £5bn?Great comeback
it happens - people / businesses get taxed at high rates - they move on.
Wouldn't put it past them to be honest. Easier to make money outside the UK? Would certainly make them think twice on further investment in the UK.BP gonna exit the market cause they only made £2bn and not £5bn?![]()
If they can make more money elsewhere they already would be (and are).Wouldn't put it past them to be honest. Easier to make money outside the UK? Would certainly make them think twice on further investment in the UK.
Indeed and if they increase the tax burden even more in the UK, it incentiveses them to divest even further out of the UK to other regions.If they can make more money elsewhere they already would be (and are).
But if all they do is scalp us then who cares?Indeed and if they increase the tax burden even more in the UK, it incentiveses them to divest even further out of the UK to other regions.
Yeah, better to cut off your nose to spite your face for sure!But if all they do is scalp us then who cares?
Oh no please think of the shareholdersYeah, better to cut off your nose to spite your face for sure!
Makes no odds to the shareholders if they make their money here or elsewhere.Oh no please think of the shareholders
modern devices on standby should be85w at 0.21p/kwh is about 2p an hour
So I'm not going to go turning things off. Of standby to save fractions of a penny.

2p an hour might not sound like much but it adds up. Say you're at work 8 hours a day so your appliances are on standby the remaining 16 hours, so 2p x 16 hours x 365 days = £116 on your electricity bill over the course of a year
you might if you worked for elon muskYou're not at work 365 days of the year though.
Beer fridge seems low, I thought normal fridges were set to about 6 degrees. Can't imagines switches use much though, the rest seems like normal house stuff pretty much (I don't personally have an echo, echo, echoRouter
POE Switch
Gigabit Switch
NAS
Beer Fridge set to 2c.
Normal fridge
Freezer
2 X Nest Protect
Hue Hub
2 X Amazon Echo's
Few devices in standby as well. Can't think of much else, but like others have said it all adds up.
That's why it's a beer fridge, that's not even the coldest setting. That's on 4 out of 5, 5 will get it almost freezing.Beer fridge seems low, I thought normal fridges were set to about 6 degrees.
