Yep - seems so, do you think they have gold plated heat pumps? Still you have to feel sorry for them when your personal security bill is $24 million! (Mark Zuckerberg) - that's a few click throughs on Facebook and you still have to pay everybody else.

Sounds like a word we should all be clear on the definition of - just can't place it .

Ah the techno feudalist future on the march! A commentator once likened us to maggots thriving in the filth of a social media-driven, tech-obsessed future. Tech billionaires look on, grinning, as we wallow in the muck like pigs in excrement. Wonder if the plebeians of Rome or the medieval peasantry were so taken in by their equivalent of the oligarchs.

Informed by what / whom. Of that 1.4m how many will want to learn enough to inform themselves. They will rely on their installers.

Bring in the future homes standard immediately, allow the house builders to avoid doing it and quadruple the CIL levy if they do. The problem with be that house building will slow up as they can no long just throw them up so that impacts the completion targets - these feedback loops are a pain.

As things stand this seems to depend on several factors. A few of us have applied for and been granted more than 3.86 ( In our case 6.9kW) on a single phase. I think it might relate to pressure from HMG to get more PV and how many others are installing or have installed PV on your leg of the local sub station - which is kind of mad because although I might be granted 6.9kW because there is no uptake locally if, all of a sudden there is they could exceed the limit even capping the late adopters at 3.86kW.

Yes and it needs fixed.

@Jeremy Harris Can I ask a question about your SAP? Many on here have real issues with SAP not allowing a high rating if you have direct electric heating of DHW. Your set up does have this in effect, with some PV, but I guess that your SAP was worked out on your ASHP. Have I got that right?

Great news - do you think they are lurking on the side somewhere .

Hi Jeremy and welcome back. One of @TerryE's Sunamp's failed and he disposed of the acetate, cut the machine up and replaced it with a UVC - see his posts for details.

Yes and with good instrumentation you can charge people by what they take out-of the pipe. Presumably everybody needs a tank for domestoc hot water (DHW) though

THAT is the bit that is so wrong and would be so easy to correct. Not that easy, see here: https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/electricity-pricing. The only real way is to eliminate gas from our electricity generation then the price could drop. We, the people, don't own our generation so the price is market driven and the price is down to supply and demand in the market. The wind farms can quote any price they like 0.00001p per unit, safe in the knowledge they will get paid the gas price.

Now we are in for it....

What an interesting journal! From ASHP in the roof to qubits cooling on the same page - great!

Not the current party they don't - might be a window there but perhaps not. The trouble is if we all stay quiet then for sure nothing happens and you should never underestimate a bunch of committed individuals should you.
