Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I had a poor experience with Octopus about 5 years ago by email which sounds like Chrisull's experience by phone - they simply weren't reading what I'd told them (I got others to check what I was writing by the end to make sure I was being clear as in theory it was simple!). Eventually they got it correct (it wasn't that they disagreed once they finally understood).

Ok - it's up it's and live. They wanted a photo of my export amount, which I have done.

So configurers (in particular @HappyG(rrr) ), what do I now need to be doing/setting up to get maximum bang for my exporting buck please?

It's a GivEnergy battery and it's on a "Out going, smart export guarantee tariff" with Octopus.

OK, you need to change your outgoing tariff to whichever suits you best - I'm on Flux export. 4-7pm is 27p, and same for import, I'm on flux import 2-5am 15p. Then charge battery during cheap rate and discharge during peak rate.

Tada. :-) G

Hi
I've seen environment (whether emissions, power, climate change, access to countryside, whatever you think of as "environment") discussed in various threads: Politics (obviously), the Electric Car thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/electric-car-anyone-61481/ , run free's excellent "Competitive Running and Keeping The Environment Clean" fetcheveryone.com/forum/running-competitively-keeping-our-environment-clean-60907/ my own Greta Thunberg thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/greta-thunberg---jfk-for-the-climate-generation-61044/ etc. but I haven't seen a general one.

So here it is. For those interested in the science, the politics, the action for (and I'll state that for me, this is mostly pro-environment, anti-emissions, anti-pollution etc.) and the hope for the future of our planet.
