I notice that the wind turbine up the road has been switched off for the past couple of days. Storm Darragh apparently too much for it. But the leccy storages must be overflowing now with wind generation so hopefully we'll have another freebie session soon?

Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr)
2 reasons turbines turned off - too string,risk of damage or too much wind so too much lectticity to use (or store but we have only tiny amounts of storage).
Needs investment in massive amounts of storage, including home batteries and electric cars for all!  G

Solar panels on homes are commonplace now, maybe someday someone will invent a viable domestic wind turbine.
Also puzzles me that nobody has made tidal flow generation a goer yet. Big tides here in west Cornwall and they had a go recently but gave up. Wind and sun are unreliable but the tides aren't. I guess the numbers don't work at the mo.

Domestic wind doesn’t work because the energy density is too low and you need huge turbines for the height to get clear airflow.
Rare exceptions like farms and other rural locations, but can never work in towns.

Bumped into my neighbour as I returned from my run. He's switched to Octopus and put me down as his referral.😀 I thought he wouldn't put up with British Gas much longer.

I've got the same message. I tend to use nothing at that time apart from the telly so I'm not going to take part.
