Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
That's interesting, sounds like my set-up where the GivEnergy app tells you all sorts of (often contradictory) things but, as someone here pointed out, Octopus and their meter seem to have a believable story - eventually. I hope the GF (our) grid meter is working properly!
8pus Smart meter half-hourly data seem only to be available several days behind.

I've not registered for the KH chat. Interested to hear if any worthwhile salient points like energisation date for 1st turbine get a mention. I wonder if they mention cfds?

Vote is in
30%for
68% against
2% abstain
Thus no CFD

For the absence of doubt that vote was for KH.
There is a separate vote for DW but I would imagine a similar outcome.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
That's a new milestone for us. Dipped below 1kWh buy from grid in 24hrs. First time this year.
That means that GF has a chance to top up the VB from now to Sept end.
I have now knocked the 5min battery charge down to 1 minute overnight. Result!
Once KH comes online and maybe pays something out I'd like to think that GF & KH combo will keep us on the £1 DD forever....
Starting here.
THROW THE FIRST SWITCH!!!.

With a CF of 88% for yesterday then a good return from GF taking Aprils total within a day or two of April '23 total for the entire month and we're but half way through!
As JB states Roll on KH generation so keeping our VB's in a healthy state ready for whatever next winter might throw at us.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
My VB is now 222% and I think with KH and then DW coming on stream I don't think I will ever have a net import of energy at Nowty towers in any month ever again.
So far this month the house has exported a net 349kWh + 673 kWh on the GF wind turbine.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
My Nowty, that's hugely impressive. Perhaps you could offer some advice to the next in coming government, whoever they maybe, on the path required to achieve net zero asap!
Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
I doubt that any government would ever listen to me as I must be some sort of eco nut who needs to be on some sort of environmentalist watch list.
They would probably want to ban me from buying super glue.

Very similar:
• Yes = 35% (1,413)
• No = 63% (2,510)
• Abstain = 2% (97)
