Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

[Mr Gus]

Hope you used a code, £25 is watts paid for after all.

[pudding]

Oh yes, used your sig link

[Mr Gus]

Well I hope you utilised somebodies, cashback has "mooar power" potential used the right way.

Just signed up, 946W purchased.

Have you got any solar PV ?

[pudding]

Yup, a 4kW array. Going to add another 3ish and batteries soon, waiting on DNO G99 response.

Funny enough one of my old work colleagues came round this morning to look at my setup as he has a 4kW Solar PV and he'd just had an OTT quote for a second hybrid system with panels and batteries. I put him in touch with another local company with some advice and as he is with Octopus, he now might also be buying into Ripple before midnight.

PS - In that case, as I'm sure you will get the DNO approval, I will add you to my secret list of green generation. 7000 kWh for PV and 3000 kWh for WT2.

I just love that, 'my secret list of green generation', followed immediately by a link to same. Terry Jones could have wrote that!

Do we need a sweepstake on the percentage of Kirk Hill sold to individual investors?

I am going for 35% of total capacity giving 65% sold when including the 30% to a company per the offer document.

And my mate who came round this morning to have a renewable chat has just signed up to ripple with my code.

He had a special under the floor visit to the Nowty Towers battery cave and had to take a photo of it cos he said his wife would not believe him.

Am i correct that if i have ripple income that it would offset my standing charge if I'm not using electricity?

I was with Coop, so now on a Coop dual-fuel tariff with Octopus. They simply credited my account with March's Ripple money on 21st April - and I promptly went into my account and knocked my direct debit down by £20. I don't imagine any other provider allows you to tell them what your dd will be that easily.
I know they have to agree it with you, but that usually means you phoning them and having the argument to reduce what they want to take. Not with Octopus.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61309576: Energy firms face deadline in review of direct debit hikes

Some energy suppliers have been given a three-week deadline to explain accusations they have increased customers' direct debit payments by "more than is necessary".
Jonathan Brearley, boss of the energy regulator Ofgem, recently said there were "troubling signs" of the tactic.
He also expressed concern over customers being directed to inappropriate deals.

Octopus seem to be very relaxed about what we pay - but maybe their computer oversight is quite intelligent and would block an irresponsible reduction in payments.
I have no complaints about them whatsoever.
