    0.475 O's here today. Batten down the hatches💨😡
    Get yerself on that new Octopus tariff ! 😎
    More expensive than Avro ie Avro Lecci: 13.25p kWh: Octopus 15.8235p  Avro Gas: 2.28p kWh: Octopus 2.7195p kWh S/C Combined Avro: 31.5p per day Octopus: 37.863p per day.   
    Ah but the new Octopus windy tariff gets discounts of 20% and 50% when it's blowing a hoolie. 😁

    Our Octopus gas tariff if 2.39p but to be fair I don't think they do that one now so Avro wins there.
    Just back checked with MSE Cheap Energy Club; Octopus, currently, new customer would cost me an extra £116.00 per year!

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
