No, and on that narrow basis it can reasonably be considered a going concern. But do I think this is a robust business with a secure long-term financial…

When the switch happens 25 minutes earlier, all my Economy 7 connected appliances such as immersion heater and storage heaters turn on during the day rate for about 25 minutes. That means I'm using 7kWh/hour of…

Can't get smart meter
I keep asking Octopus for a smart meter as I would like a better export rate for my solar panels but for months now they have been unable to even give me an approximate timescale. Is there actually any entitlement to a smart meter? I keep hearing they are mandatory.
