Not even a pay-per-mile tax for all vehicles. Specifically targeting the ones that don't pollute?!

For domestic installations space normally is the limiting factor. There are many costs of the installation (electrical components, scaffold etc.) that don't scale with capacity, so the incremental % cost of maxing out panel area is fairly small and panel efficiency is v important

It's quite a messy article, but my reading of it is
- scrap ECO as is
- divert funding from BUS to pay for heat pumps for those previously eligible for ECO
So functionally it's fund ECO from general taxation and cancel BUS but reduce electricity prices a little in the process.

Ah yes, the bleeding edge of automotive technology in 2025 is *checks notes* err, a big diesel tank.

Yes. I'll respond over there

I don't think I ever got the email Peter. Can you talk next week at some point? I'll come down your way to meet up.

Yeah. My heat pump has started heating the house. Not much, but a bit. Solar generation is still more than more than usage, but that won't last long.

Another option could be a "yellow card" where it's really just a warning before a more drastic sanction

Yeah, I hadn't really considered the whole range of possible implications. I suppose if you win the bid and pull out there do need to be consequences

Can you reveal any more? Who are you going to see?

This feels a bit weird to me. So you mess up the pricing and then the wind farm can never be built despite it being very technically viable?

Yeah, we should probably catch up more generally, it's been ages since we last spoke.
We're so close to each other in the country we should just do it in person I think.
Email me with some dates.

It's weird because good UX used to be a real strength for myenergi.
I have an Ohme charger and find the app UX to be ok. I have found it a little frustrating in the past, but it's good enough

When so much of performance relies on on-site configuration any year standard is going to be a little challenging to understand anyway.

No, it's definitely not a defined standard. But it's a heat pump firmware principle that is important for efficiency at part load.

The whole thing is insane.
Maybe I'm out of touch/in a bubble, but I feel like nobody actually likes the half arsed fake farm cottage looks of so many new homes.

Mostly agree, but AC demand and solar generation must track pretty well with one another shouldn't they? If, for some people, cooling is the Trojan horse that sneaks in efficient electrified heating and the summer peaks can be met by solar that feels like part of the solution.

What's good is that when it's scorching hot we can use it for TV in the evening and sleeping in it.

Yeah, also funny that in the 70s they didn't think it was worth testing past an internal temp over 27⁰C.
I've put AC in one room, it's the one that gets hottest it's usually my office, but doubles as a spare living room and as a guest bedroom.

Check this out! Even without covers the reported quality of sleep is getting bad at 27⁰C room temp.
