Which calories though? Called a crematorium with CHP.

That is also a good way of extending credit.

Or multiples of joules, which is what we should really use, then there is no confusion.

Because it is cheaper to turn of a few MW of wind generation than shut down and restart a large gas powered generator (which also gets paid for non generation). It is all do do with the Balancing Mechanism Auctions. They have proved to be the cheapest way to deliver power. The alternative is to constantly over or under generate, and disconnect or incentives consumers (what Octopus is playing with). There are very clever engineers, statisticians, economists, accountants etc that work on keeping the UK powered, they will know if any deal you think up is viable or not. I think what you are actually after is a good deal for yourself, not for the nations energy grid. Take your idea of a 3.3 MW (installed capacity) solar farm, in the scheme of things it is tiny, but say it went ahead and you entered the market as a generation company (so either guaranteeing a fixed supply, or bidding in the day ahead auction). Two simple scenarios. You oversupply on a rare sunny day and are asked to disconnect You undersupply and you are asked to fill in the gap What sort of commercial deal you willing to do? (You can look up the prices on the web)

Donald Trump does, he sees value in everything that suits himself.

Was their first DJ. Think he ended up on the Beeb.

Is Simon Dee still on it. (199 metres)

Our @joe90 had some wind driven water problems on his new build, he had used a full fill mineral insulation that could cope with getting wet, and treated the outside brick. Cured the problem.

As you lot probably use, or at least aspire to use Crapple products, why piss about, just get their latest toy. https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-vision-pro/

Had Princess Anne tour our factory, she is now an expert on material testing machines, and we got the Queen's Award for Export. She looked elsewhere, mainly her watch I seem to remember.

Why not put in a larger MVHR system that can cope with moving greater amounts of air about? There seems to be a fixation that MVHR can never be used for effective cooling. It may not be the most cost effective method, and probably harder to install, but buildings all over the world have used forced air heating a cooling, except in the UK, where we like to think we are World Class and know best.

I was in a traffic jam for 4 hours yesterday, there was a (expletive deleted) in a campervan that decided that we all needed to enjoy his music. Even, at full volume, The Archers theme tune did not drown his racket out.

I published an article about this over a decade ago, I wonder if read it. There are some advantages of small, local storage in that the grid does not need reinforcing and the individual unit prices are low, so it is a very scalable system.

I am not as visited my mother today. Now I am stuck on M5 as it is closed both ways. Going to be a long journey home, been in the car 11 already.

To me, it seems to be just a net billing system (as long as the exports are greater than the imports). Probably be pulled from the market as I suspect that Octopus are just testing the market. For them it is very cheap market research, the customer is doing a lot of the work.

Nice soundbites from Greg, but he does not say how you get customers to use energy when he wants. Nor does he mention local grid reinforcements.

What was the demand back then? We build 2,107,430 houses in the 1980s. That is a little bit more than the 1990s and 2000s. (I actually not sure I know what you mean, but the data of house building is available for all to see on the ONS website)

Does that mean that world class British fruit is not the export miracle the world was craving, but was stopped because of vicious Eurocrats.

One big advantage over a dynamic one is that the crockery does not get broken.

Are these apple and cherry trees as I thought that all the farmers claim they are feeding the nation, and if they have environment rules and reduced subsidies forced in them, then the nation will starve to death.

Do a bit of deep interweb searching and McClod made some remarks about me. He is a man that knows nothing about thermodynamics.

I only have radios in the house. Have joined the 21st Century by getting DAB ones. The pictures are better on radio.

It will be a Points Based system, like they have in Australia. Or was that his policy on something else in the past, Public Health, or Education maybe. Or was it gun licences. Don't think that John Major was a right winger, Keith Clarke wasn't. 30 years ago was very middle of the road politics, hardly changed in '97. The past is a foreign country.
