Currently got power cut ..
I've got the same (probably unrelated!)
I think an upgrade is going in up the road. Power has been out for 12 hours - expected back at 17:00.
Went out at midnight, so had a crap nights sleep - 30C and 80% - was dripping all night.

Gen (of death) has been working hard since I got up.
If I nurse it, I can squeeze enough power to run one A/C once the friges have cooled down

new (public) cash cow " largest of 11 schemes in the government’s first hydrogen allocation round, which provides a total of £2bn of funding to stimulate hydrogen production. ...... with the hydrogen produced through electrolysis, using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. "
yet more demand on the Grid then :rolleyes:

seems a lot of 'wasted space':unsure:

" The government has signed the final investment decision on the Sizewell C nuclear power plant with the cost of the scheme set at £38bn, almost double the £20bn previously forecast. ...... Energy secretary Ed Miliband has agreed a deal with a group of private investors which will see the government take a 44.9% stake in the project as the largest equity shareholder. " not a controlling share then :mad:


" The UK state will own a 44.9% stake, making it the single biggest equity shareholder but not in total control of the project.

Other shareholders include Canadian investment fund La Caisse with 20%, British energy company Centrica with 15%, French energy company EDF with 12.5% and US investor Amber Infrastructure with 7.6%.

The project will be supported by a £5bn debt guarantee from France’s export credit agency, Bpifrance Assurance Export, to back the company’s commercial bank loans.

The UK National Wealth Fund – the government’s principal investor and policy bank – will provide the majority of the project’s debt finance, working alongside Bpifrance Assurance Export.

The Regulated Asset Base (RAB) funding model that is to be used – like for the Thames Tideway sewer project – allows for a rate of return to be earned by investors during construction by adding levies to households in England, Scotland and Wales and some businesses, thereby moving risk onto consumers rather than investors.

anyone recall voting for this 👆👆👆:unsure::unsure::mad:
