Hi All!
This may seem a daft question but my sister asked and it got me thinking:coat
She is building a house in Ireland and has no supply at present....
It is 1700 euro to get the hook up from a pole a couple of fields away
It is 120 euro/year standing charge
It is 13c per kWh
She is growling and talking about a generator/ battery rig up like a UPS. I have poo pooed this explaining she is into serious money there.....probably more like 100000 euro i says.....
then i got thinking.....and here it is!
if i draw 1 kWh off the supply to run a 1 bar heater at the above costs.....how much would it cost in fuel to draw that same 1kWh off say a 15kVA genny, forgetting maintenance costs of the set? headbang
