Two metres. Two Standing Charges.

ZZaffy

Markin The stables have at great expense has been rewired, because the wiring was dangerous.  All the latest lighting equipment has been installed.

Re-cap.  Domestic was 3330 per annum (not all led).
               Stables  was   705 kwh.
So I am after approx 4000kwh per annum coverage.

Is there some reason why you can't feed the stables from the house?

If you can do that, then you can have the stable supply disconnected and no longer pay the standing charge.

I thought that was what you wanted?

Is the 700kwh from before the upgrades what's the new daily use?

 If you have to keep the second supply 2 separate systems would be best, in my mind anyway, or one over sized on the house

They are using 4,000 Kwh a year in total, 705 of that in the stables, I can't see why they would need two supplies?

theoretica

If you want only one supply, then it will be your responsibility to run the wires so both areas run from the same meter.  Likely there will also be a cost for disconnecting the unwanted meter - worth finding out what that is and taking it into account in the cost benefit calculation.  Are the properties officially one or two?  I assume there are some rules around properties not sharing supplies, and a joint supply seems like it might be a liability if the stables were sold separately in future.

To maximise export limit on both, The solar on the the stables could be seen as a profit making supplement to the business, And future use from a heatpump or 1 to 2 EV's one day should be taken into account.

They haven't got any solar panels.

They have two supplies with two standing charges and would like to pay only one standing charge.

Or have I missed something?

On the property, there are two metres. Therefore, I am paying two lots of standing charges.  One metre 3 phase is for the small livery yard and one metre is for my home. Can I have one metre removed to save on the doubling up of standing charges? 

No mention of solar panels.

Just supply the livery yard from the house and have the livery yard disconnected.

Unless there is something that makes that impossible?

The OP isn't saying whether this is possible.

They already have a quote for solar.
