Re: The energy crisis
Meter readings taken with photographic evidence today, seeing as I still don’t have an account set up with Scottish Power in my new house. So I now know that from the 1st to the 30th of September I imported 235kWh, exported 46kWh and generated 108kWh of electricity (meaning we consumed 62kWh of free solar electricity), and used 29.8 m3 of gas, approx 333.72 kWh.
As far as I can see this puts our family electricity usage pretty much on average, with the solar panels contributing about 20% of our needs and selling a little left over to the grid.
It’s harder to see how we’re doing with gas as it’s years since I’ve lived in a house that has mains gas and I’ve never lived in an up-to-date energy efficient house before. I don’t know whether September is typically an average, below average or above average month.
