Let's hope the downward trend continues

It would seem that SoLR problems are certainly not restricted to Green/Shell. All of the SoLR migrations seem to be experiencing problems. Not necessarily the same problems, but problems all the same. What a complete dog’s dinner of a system. It is obviously not fit for purpose, or has collapsed under the strain of the sheer volume of supplier failures in a short period. Where should the buck stop? Where is Mr Kwarteng?

All so worrying with suppliers going bust. Which il be next and when only a few larges ones are left then we have to pay higher prices. Time for cheaper renewables.

Renewables are already the cheapest form of generation. We do need more storage to make best use of them, But energy production and energy retailing are two totally different things.

The ultimate solution is cutting the energy wasted. Not least the hot air.
