Octopus Agile Outgoing is a great export tariff, especailly for a West facing array, in that past month I've average 16p/kWh, this is for direct solar export no battery, separately I've averaged 23.4p/kWh for battery export, graphs from @openenergymon.bsky.social MyElectricFlow dashboard

Hit a milestone with my home MVHR install, it's far from finished but I've got it switched on with 50% of rooms connected! It's amazing the effect it's has on Co2 in our bedroom 📉

Really great to see this work on how good heat pump installs can be. An average seasonal performance factor (sCOP) of 3.9 beats gas on running costs, even in the UK where the price ratio between gas and electricity is so bad.

There's not many 10-year-old cars with software this good, or 130kW+ charging speeds! The combination of autopilot and free charging make this the best road trip EV, Tesla was so far ahead of other manufacturers back in 2015, it's a shame they've lost their way a bit...

We're on the verge of the heating season in North Wales, temperature is dropping to 11C, my newly installed Grant Aerona 290 heatpump has started trickling some heat in, impressive low modulation of 2.2kW (366W electrical) from this 9kW unit, COP of 5.7 at the moment 👍

Want mass heat pump adoption? Fix the running costs. The electricity-to-gas price ratio is key. When policy makes electricity artificially expensive, the cleaner choice isn't the cheaper one. It's time to rebalance energy taxes, as this @thecccuk.bsky.social chart highlights.
