Are we going to get black outs this winter ?

Mmmm not so good here.

Own water borehole, pumped.

Gravity fed oil CH or back boiler, elec pump.

Pumped grey water/sewage to septic.

Elec cooking.

No mob signal, so elec landline.

 

Get cut off at some point most winters, but never felt the need to invest in a gena. What's the ball park for diesel one that would run a house on careful usage?

If they didn't spend so much time and money on stupid wind and solar and more on nuclear power stations we wouldn't be in this situation. We must have about 15 wind turbines near us and they spend most of the time doing nothing. The farmers are loving it as they get paid if its working or not. What a waste of money

Im not bothered if we do tbh.

I agree! It happens once a year we have no power

[Pat Ferrett]

I have been hearing the same old story for years

Will be interesting to come back to this thread in 6 months. I am not bothered either, money will be nice but I prefer to mess around with timber. Just got to remember to not sell or hire every generator in the yard.

I am getting a lot of emails and messages from people not to mention a lot of work asking if the light are going to go out. My answer is the same as it was with the millenium bug, no idea.

 

But for the last few years London has come close on many occasions and we now have less capacity than ever before.

 

The government are playing hardball with the energy giants over their pricing and when asked about power security they are not making any comments.

 

If you have a little petrol set tucked away get it out and change the petrol

I have no 3 phase and have looked at the cost of getting it to our property, £1000 a pole and 9 poles to get here !!! I have now bought an ex army 3phase and single phase 27.5 kva set with less than 200 hrs on the clock.

It will be up and running for less than £1000.

We are wood fired with central heating and hot water all off the wood burner, so no problems !!
