That's a good ideaFor those people who don't have gas heating then the allowance could be 9000 kWh of electricity.
Or as I said, council tax bands to proxy for property size. ie band A allowance 6000 kWh, band B 8000, band C 10000 etc.

Still have silver insulation behind my rads.Back in the bad old 1970's which everybody says were horrible, we put foil behind radiators, often under the wallpaper so it was not an eyesore. Nothing is ever new.
It's a quick and easy way to split it and unless the house hasn't been sold for a long time, quite accurateCouncil tax bands aren't a good proxy size.

The first part is true, the second part is pretty much irrelevant and Council Tax bands still aren't a good proxy for size.It's a quick and easy way to split it and unless the house hasn't been sold for a long time, quite accurate
Maybe the old rateable values would work. Still used to charge for water for unmetered properties.Council tax bands aren't a good proxy size.
Any dwelling coming into existence since around 1 April 1990 won't have a rateable value.Maybe the old rateable values would work. Still used to charge for water for unmetered properties.
Well im sure the problem is solvable isn't it. Its not rocket science to estimate how big a house is.Any dwelling coming into existence since around 1 April 1990 won't have a rateable value.
Yeah but nationalised debt is usually recovered via general taxation which is a fairer recovery mechanism than via SC. Although I think in this case the government are recovering bulbs losses on the SC.
Just allocate X amount of kWh per person per house hold.Well im sure the problem is solvable isn't it. Its not rocket science to estimate how big a house is.
What about people like my parents with ancient old house with old Central heating that's really inefficient can't afford new system, can't have cavity insulation. I imagine a lot are in that same boat.For those people who don't have gas heating then the allowance could be 9000 kWh of electricity.

Could be disproportionate against single person households though.Just allocate X amount of kWh per person per house hold.
Put an ad up for a lodger "One room available, must bring electric allowance"Could be disproportionate against single person households though.
indeed..... sometimes perfect is the enemy of the good and if they tried to be too accurate it could end up costing a fortune to implement, thus making the whole exercise futile.Just allocate X amount of kWh per person per house hold.
How? The now people the more electric you use.Could be disproportionate against single person households though.
not sure if serious but i was forced to rent out a room in my home for almost 5 years.... it was that or downsize, my choice and i wasnt bitter making it as i wanted to keep a larger home.Put an ad up for a lodger "One room available, must bring electric allowance"
Heating a house uses roughly the same energy if two people live there or one.How? The now people the more electric you use.
