Octopus COSY tariff - Cosy Boost Credits

I posted this previously, then deleted it, because . . . . . I was hoping it would be a forecasting and notification procedure. Upon further thought it can only be a discount calculated from historic data, retrospectively applied. Something like the OAP extremely cold weather payment top-up. It's a ...

Re: BP abandons renewable investments

What surprises me is how people running these death-force, fossil-fuel companies can justify ( to themselves ) their culpability into the destruction of the life-support system on our planet.

Before committing any £, I'll be looking at a possible alternative :- Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc (ORIT) which invests in international renewable opportunities.

Would that be the China - Duisberg ( Belt-and-Road ) railway ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongqi...

Re: Pylontech - Servtec console software

Sorry, it looks like I have misled you. I'm guessing that your battery is an older model than my 2000C. EDIT : I see that you have 2000B . . . . . If you see below, my 2000C Master battery has an explicit "SOH" value of 99. ( All others have a SOH of zero. ) I'm guessing that the SOH is a ...
