Currently getting the run around between and trying to work out who is responsible for the fact their is no coverage for meters where I live. Of the 2.5MWh the household has consumed from the grid this year alone I've sent 1.5MWh back into the grid. There are only so many free showers I can have by diverting the spare energy into my hot water tank!

@penguin42 that seems to be the way it needs to go. themselves don't claim to regulate the WAN networking for the smart meter network although they weren't sure who did or if indeed it was regulated. I did find this: https://www.smartdcc.co.uk/about-dcc/governance-regulations/smart-dcc-licence-regulation/ which implies a license expiring next year which might explain why things have gone to shit.

Families could be up to £2,000 worse off this winterfollowing increase in ’s price cap on energy bills

“In remote rural areas, fuel poverty rates are around 40 per cent – that’s four in 10 homes that struggle to afford these essential costs.”

Here's a bad joke played on an entire country- regulator plans to charge every household and extra £16 because the energy companies are giving it hard to retrieve £3bn of bad debts (caused by energy being too expensive!). What if we all refuse to pay this ludicrous extra charge? What will they do- the profits of the energy companies?

Energy price cap set to rise AGAIN in January

Ofgem are nothing short of a joke.

They clearly don't give a damn about consumers, only lining the pockets of the energy giants and their shareholders.

It's high time all utilities were re-nationlised so as NOT to put profit before service.

Not sure what to make of this:

is considering 'zonal pricing' which would seen prices differing on the basis of proximity (or otherwise to generation) - essentially abandoning universal service provision for energy & introducing a price incentive to live near(er) locations were power is produced...

This might also include pricing by time-period (the old night-storage heater model) 'encouraging' people to recharge tech or run non-time-sensitive energy-hungry processes over-night.

Some progress with my FIT tariff. They needed a letter to say I wanted it decommissioned. Not sure why, but hopefully they can update quickly and I get back to exporting.

Dear

We are about to start the export back scheme at a rate of 3.5p per KWH . We pay at the moment 40p to . Does this mean they make 35.5p per kWh profit. Or do you preside over a self energy creation scandal?
