Short 🧵following some checking of our smart meter data from before and after our @JASolarOfficial #solar panel and @GivEnergy #battery install. Comparing the 7 days usage before the install against the 7 days after. As it would happen, consumption was the same at 135kWh.

@LastPassHelp @Kristerols Just had the same.

Did I just get a phising attempt disguised as an informational warning against phising attempts claiming to be from @LastPass? "Please click this button" looking mighty suspicious..

@unitedutilities I have just reported this leak for a second time. The system says you are aware from my first report almost a month ago. Clearly we have plenty of water in storage to be able to let clean water go down the drain. Please can you fix it. ///trickster.flush.kiosk

@HullTeslaModel3 @Eddystone506 We installed battery and solar about four years ago. I haven't done the sums recently but some man-maths tells me that we have recouped most in not all of the investment. I didn't view it that way though. We had savings and the ROI was better on the roof than the best savings.

@Eddystone506 Every time I think about it, I do the self same calculations, and I come up with the same answer, it would take well over 8 years to recoup the install cost. Cannot make it make financial sense. And we're heavy users, almost 12,000kWh per annum.

Who else is thinking of installing a battery storage system which pays for itself in 3 years?

@JoeBaguley Thanks Joe.

@JoeBaguley XON/XOFF. 🙂 I think I still have my box with all the LED lights in the loft.

Parents clearing out as moving house, asked if I wanted these of mine that they found in their loft…

@JoeBaguley @HeinzUK THIS!!! has annoyed me for years. Surely it's not that difficult to change the can design.

This. Bugs me. Fix it @HeinzUK

@Dowen1979 @danny_robins I had that podcast on during my morning walk this morning too. For some reason, it didn't take as long as it normally does!

Looks for Road Ghosts, while listing to the latest episode on an early dog walk @danny_robins it hits a little different, at 5:30am 😳👻👻 #uncanny

@OctopusElectro Thanks for the update. That's disappointing but I know that it's out of your control. I've been feeding back to @GRIDSERVE_HQ at every opportunity but it's clear that this is not a priority for them so I won't waste my time. I just use the CPO that does partner with you instead

@Yorkie71 Unfortunately, the plan at the moment is for it to be only available for Fleets users. However, user feedback is powerful, so let them know that you would like them to be available for general consumers, as we would love to have as many operators on our platform for our users. ⚡

Hi @OctopusElectro I have been listening to the latest podcast with @MattRGDavies and @GinnyBuckley in which Matt mentions that @GRIDSERVE_HQ are partners. This would be great but I'm certain this is not the case. Can you confirm? pca.st/episode/9b5e80…

@OctopusElectro That's sort of good news but for the majority of consumers, it's not. Are there plans to open this to general consumers? I can't understand the reluctance given that other CPOs don't seem to have had an issue. 🤷‍♂️

@Yorkie71 Hey Martyn 👋 We have recently partnered with GridServe, which we are really excited about! However, it is only for Electroverse for Business. ⚡

@KateFantom The savings make it a no-brainer don't they? I'm assuming this is home charging at 7p/kWh. I'm interested in how it would compare if the owner only had public charging available. More expensive or around the same as diesel? Public charging is still too expensive IMO.

Based on my daily average mileage and the UK’s average price of diesel, this electric van will save us £6800-£7200 annually on diesel alone. Add some servicing, discs and pads and a clutch with DMF and we’ll have a free van after 4 years 👌🏼

@_james_gee_ I do love a good EV road trip. We have just done our annual 400 mile Lancaster to St Ives trip. No charge queues. Two charge stops in which both, the car was recharged plenty way before the human was. Safe journey.

Did someone sayyy… road trip? 📍🔋🛣️ Over 500 electric miles incoming tomorrow; how many charging queues, battery fires and breakdowns are we thinking? 🙃

@JoeBaguley Haha yes. Funny should say that. We walked past a cafe today where the waitress was going to great lengths to explain the jam-first protocol. I got the impression that if they went cream-first it would not go down well! 😂

@Yorkie71 Ewwww, jam-first land... ;-)

Morning!

@OctopusElectro Done. Thanks.

@Yorkie71 Hey Martyn 👋 Oh no - we're sorry to hear this! It definitely sounds like something has gone wrong, so we'd like to investigate. So if you could shoot us a DM we'll take a look at your account and find out what's happening. Speak soon!

@OctopusElectro Hi team, what's the issue with the favourites section of the app? It's been like this for days and I can't add or view any favorite chargers.

@AsdaServiceTeam You've recently updated your grocery shopping app. The user experience much worse than the previous version. The favorite function is not great plus all the previous favourites were removed. Also, the delivery location didn't work. Where can I provide feedback?

@BeyondRadio Looks great. Do you have any plans to transmit on DAB again? When driving up to the Lake District, the FM signal cuts out at J36 so I have to switch to Magic or Radio 2 and that's nowhere near as good.

Beyond Radio has unveiled a brand new look including a new logo and website. beyond.radio/news/beyond-ra…

@speak2thegeek @sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy @g__j I dread to think how much additional energy is being consumed to create the current trend of all these action figure posts I'm seeing in my feeds. On top of that, all the personal data that is being readily fed to the machine.

@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy @g__j Haha that’s brilliant!

I was scrolling through jobs @OctopusEnergy last night when I couldn't sleep. Do you think this would swing it if I sent it in with my CV or would it be kind of a step too far? 😆👀 Well if the kids do off to collage in September I'll be given my P45 as head of school. 🤓
