This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

lol they got you good man
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.
Great comeback
it happens - people / businesses get taxed at high rates - they move on.
BP gonna exit the market cause they only made £2bn and not £5bn?Great comeback

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).
Don
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.
But if all they do is scalp us then who cares?
Don
Yeah, better to cut off your nose to spite your face for sure!
Oh no please think of the shareholders
Just an update.
Looks like true base rest is 85-95w.
Had my mini desk amp on hitting 105W.
This is without fridge freezer or separate freezer active.
85w 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.
As expected. Standby doesn't eat as much power as whats been claimed in the media.
I still have on
-router
-tado Internet bridge
-electric to supply boiler /tado control unit
-cooker switch
-printer/tv/amp probably a few others on standby
-laptop charger connected
-nixie clock
-other smart light connections
-maybe a few other bits
Interesting but expected.
Tempted to fire up the hot tub. But I might be shocked at what it actually uses!

Makes no odds to the shareholders if they make their money here or elsewhere.
BP can already legally defend a large percentage of their profits as coming from trading not generation, which(trading) is what the UK supply companies do too ,
so windfall tax is not a water tight strategy.

modern devices on standby should be
- Device without information display (0.5 W): approx. 4 kWh
- Device with information display (1 W): approx. 8 kWh
- Device with high network availability (8 W): approx. 64 kWh
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're not at work 365 days of the year though.
you might if you worked for elon musk

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, echo
, or nest protect).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.
