A mate of mine has a place off the beaten track and is too tight to cough up 46k for mains electric. He has calor gas fridge and cooker, 12volt electric lights and TV running off solar charged batteries. He has an old clunker of a genny if he needs to use his workshop or any proper power, I dont see it being a problem for him.

15 years ago we were running a classroom on a 10kVA listerpetter genset with heat recovery of coolant and exhaust, fuel cost was about the same as the grid electricity cost would have been but red diesel was relatively cheap then.

 

Nowadays with laptops rather than CRT monitors led lights and using propane for cooking I'd bet you could just scrape by with a couple of kWh of electricity.

 

Watch out for the advances by GEK and Entrade who have demonstrated containerised generator running off woodpellets. Combine these with a decent mobile signal and no need for fixed services.

Get yourself a little plot up the glens somewhere, next to a little stream or burn.

Whack in a little hydro generator, ideal power source.

 

Bore hole for drinking water.

 

Log boiler for heating and cooking.
