    You're quite right and I should have thought of that! One reason why I come here is to find ideas I haven't considered.
    You shouldn't write off Ecotricity completely just because their offer to me was not worthwhile. Electricity prices vary all over the country and there may well be somewhere where Ecotricity are competitive. You really ought to get a quote from them and then a few more for comparison purposes. (But don't pin your hopes on them being your best deal :D )

    My third January. 2015 = 111 kWh, 2016 = 89.9 kWh, 2017 = 73 kWh.

    This January has also been my highest gas consumption month in five years.

    Not a great month.

    My January's from 2012 - 25 O's; 23.72 O's; 31.64 O's; 34.84 O's; 26.36 O's; 23.08 O's. A tad worse than 2013 but clearly, this Jan has been the worst..Incidentally, Sterling, your figures in kWh do seem very low; ie 2017 = 73 kWh = 19.312 O's, near as damn it..am I missing something here?:eek:

    Was looking good for 100%, but then got 1.5kWh's for the last 3 days of Jan, that's total, not each day. Just rain and grey.

    Finished on 90.5kWh and 91% of target. Looking at my 5 years with all systems, I have 4 years ranging from just 87kWh to 91kWh and 2013 at 114kWhs.

    Good news though, import down to 178kWh which is my lowest Jan so far.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
