No grudges held here! :lol:
It cost me 10p to run the whole house yesterday. Today will be a little bit more. I consider it an excellent bargain. 👏 :twisted:
Edit-not quite true. Its blowing so hard that today is a profit until I charge the car overnight.

Well, that's was another carbon free 24hrs!
Used £3.95 in power at home after setting EV charger to cover rough WT generation expectation. Made £4.63 at WT1, if I'm not mistaken that's a microcharge of VB1 too. :shock:

I might have hoped for this but to actually see it playing out is a proud moment. :D

Excellent stuff, just goes to show that the politicians could curtail a lot of Carbon and hit their targets IF they really wanted to - obviously big business is influencing them so as not to upset profit!

Are you sure ?, I make the CF 57.1% :twisted:

I now log the daily numbers to a spreadsheet, and I have just double checked my calculations.
I note some of the historic numbers are revised upwards a few days later but only slightly.

You'll be right. I'm floored with flu so anything I write next couple of days should have a generous helping of salt! :)

Just think about this, even if it breaks down today and they cant fix it till next month so no generation for another 20 days, we still beat the Jul, Aug and Sep figures. :shock:
