Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Sterlingtimes

Half an O.

I registered with OVO for FIT payments. They could not have been faster with the set-up. A first quarter becomes up for reading shortly. I'll let the group know how I get on.

TBF the weather(persons) said today would be bad, and it was so very, very bad. Lots of horizontal rain all day. 0.23 O's. Gulp!

I see a bad spoon rising.

Mart.

I've been with British Gas since installation, because they happened to be my supplier in 2011. They started shambolic, but rapidly got better; and now they do something rather odd. They always ask for the quarterly reading too early - in three years it has crept forward by over a month - and they always pay within a fortnight, so that nowadays the quarterly payment comes before the quarterly reading is actually due. No doubt it is all driven by some internal accounting necessity, but one sometimes has a sense of time running backwards (like some people's meters, apparently). I have no idea how easy it would be to change to them as FIT providers, but their service has been very good since the end of 2011.

Scottish....I've just had my first electricity bill since July 2013....£1717.:(

The correspondence file is 2cm thick! I had £200 compensation last year & now they've promised to write off any energy usage older than 12 months which should reduce the bill by another £600.

I signed up with them last week for another 12 months. Due to the large debit balance the DD has gone up to £288/month.

Blimey; I am with EOn, for FIT only; they usually pay within 5 working days of electronic meter reading. If they don't, I am on the phone giving ear ache. Their dedicated web site is top banana ..... ....

Scottish power do something similar - though alas they don't very often manage to process within a fortnight ! As they acknowledge one reading they 'remind' me that my next reading will be due on the NNth of (some month) which is usually up to a week earlier than it's really due. Afraid I just ignore that and send next reading on the last day of the month (i.e. exactly 3 calendar months after the last reading). I think they're probably working on the assumption that a quarter is 90 days long and I guess that's probably inherited from their conventional billing department where there would be a real advantage in getting folk to pay a few days earlier than necessary though I remain amazed that they can't actually see that it works to their disadvantage with FIT payments.

I'm with OVO energy for FIT payments, No problems whatsoever, payment received within three weeks of submission and more often sooner.

It's going to be one of "those" days today I think.

System woke earlier, produced 100w and is now asleep again awaiting a new dawn - or the second dawn of the day rather.
