Genera1Klaus#UK: "[..] from 2028, no new homes will be on the gas network - and will instead be on a heat network or get a #heatpump - and they must have #solar panels on their roofs [..]"
'"The #IranWar has once again shown our drive for clean power is essential for our #energy security so we can escape the grip of #fossilfuel markets we don't control," said Energy Secretary Ed Miliband'
Michael Burchertconservative/fossil 'economics':
"over a 19-year period, the running costs of a gas heating system in a typical flat [...] would be around €18,580 higher than those of a #heatpump. In a detached house, the costs would be even higher: [...] €23,746. 💸

Richard Martin-NielsenWe recently had solar panels and a #HeatPump installed (by our landlord) at our house. So I am paying more attention to energy consumption for heating (just when we are probably reducing it)...
First step is to be visiting the Electricity Maps website https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/NL/live/fifteen_minutes?signal=electricity-price
This can be somewhat addictive to revisit and then you notice weird things like the Netherlands apparently having more installed solar capacity than France. 1/2 #SolarPower #WindPower #GreenEnergy

SeanBurlington 🌈 🕊️I just got my feed in tariff payment for the winter (mid august to mid march)
It covers my total power bill for the same period
Summer is going to be even better
At every step on our low-carbon journey there have been lots of people saying it won't work.
This tech is so good that the subsidies keep getting reduced - which is fine - the tech keeps getting cheaper and better.
Yesterday discovered a fault in our heat pump system (installed august last year)
It had been making a gurgling noise, so I checked the pressure, it was low so I filled it.
noticed it was low because of a slow leak
Called octopus today, an engineer arrived on site a few hours later
One compression joint needed tightening
Annoying to have a fault, but it's a bit of the plumbing that could have failed on any new system
Very happy with the after care from octopus
Marek BehrRising oil and gas prices? Engie in Belgium started their Happy Hours program today. When the forecast predicts surplus solar power, your electricity will be free for a few hours, to charge the #EV or load up the #HeatPump buffer tank.
Even if there are no solar panels in the house, and without switching to fully dynamic pricing. The prerequisite is a smart meter with real-time reading.
And we are just barely out of Winter.

Wouter 🇳🇱🇧🇷🇧🇪I’ve had a heat pump installed and now my house is heated without using any gas. Great!
