Email received from Ripple today asking for my energy supplier details and account number.

April is getting closer

Doesn't your energy supplier have to be Octopus?

No, they have other supply partners too

Effectively that's one other supply partner, E.on Next.  But at least there is a real choice now, not just Octopus.  When did E.on Next come onboard?

 When did E.on Next come onboard?

Several years ago. More or less from it's inception.

Really?  I'm sure when I looked it was Octopus and only Octopus and that really put me off Ripple.

Next Ripple project is going to be a huge wind-farm.

Yes I saw my invite a few weeks ago. 
I already have a small share of their latest solar farm that's not yet up and running. 

They say the cost to cover all your electric would be about £1900 . Although I believe that would cut 25% off your electric costs each year.

CFD or not CFD? That is the question.

Yea, indeedy, i think we need mystic meg to give her view

on a serious  note, with the UK having little storage, and energt prices increasing on average , i am steering towards leaving the status quo as is. CFD seems like a way to benefit the underlying energy providers and water down the benefits of coop generation going forward.

So far I'm leaning towards going for the CfD, but at a "comfortable" price. If it is accepted then we should be mostly above the prediction curves but if it fails then we are where already we were, anyway.

If it hadn't been for the delays we wouldn't have had a chance of going for a CfD.
