Hey @octopus.energy - what’s the highest off peak draw you see during a cold winters night?
We’ve just exceeded 100kWh! Heat battery ( @tepeoheatbattery.bsky.social ZEB), ordinary battery, running the A2A during the night to keep house from cooling down too much, hot water tank plus the car!

Before and after infra-red shot of a ceiling where we have improved insulation since last winter. You can just see the light fitting on the right for reference. Blue spots = cold spots from poorly installed insulation when house was built in 2008.

@tillathenun.bsky.social hello. Long time follower and we’ve swapped one or two messages on the i5 Facebook forum back in the day.
Could you follow me so I can pop you a direct message? (Which I assume is why I can’t send one)
Thanks.
(Not trying to sell you anything promise!).

Private fireworks should be banned. I don’t have PTSD but they annoy the hell out of me. I can’t imagine what it must be like if you do have a condition that is triggered by loud bangs.

The debate on investments into our #energytransition is often misinformed by simple slogans like 'we can't afford net-zero'. I believe the opposite...

Britain can’t afford to delay its green energy transition
Stalling our transformation of the grid will only harm the environment, raise costs, and risk jobs

18 months ago I sold my business and vowed to spend more of my time doing stuff I love. I think I’ve done okay with that goal. Today? Alton Towers in the Autumnal sunshine. Smiler - world record holder for number of inversions - doing its thing.

I am so lucky that I can do this on a weekday as the trails are quiet. It’s damp so slippery at times which adds to the fun.

Turns out, against expectations based on press coverage, I really enjoy Tron: Ares. Visually spectacular and a great soundtrack- both helped by being in a good, modern cinema. Okay not the most intricate of plots but that doesn’t bother me.
