But don’t forget; ‘Inflation will be coming down soon!’! (LOL)!
We got a new nuclear power plant online this week. It was late 14 years, but better late then never eh?
Homegrove It was late 14 years
Fuckin lollers! I can’t begin to imagine the the issues they must hit, financially and technically, but that’s daft as fuck.
Amps luckily the French company building it had to pay for the complications, instead of the tax payers here. It was a settled sum when Finland bought it from Areva. I think it beat the new Berlin airport with a couple of years. That was really late too.
I checked, Berlin’s new airport was 9 years late.
Blame the new world wide army of “project managers”

“A one-off rise to energy bills of up to £17 a year to help prevent suppliers going bust is being considered by the UK’s energy watchdog.”
I’m not sure how these companies are coping at this difficult time, the shareholders mental health must really be taking a hit

We are practically down to pre “energy crisis” levels now and yet everyone is still getting royally shafted on the price cap

Is it cheaper at Costco?
Millsy old skool
Hursty avoiding smart meters like the plague. Might go full Flares style and get a pay key for the Londis.
Mad_Cyril unfortunately not but it’s obscenely cheaper on the open wholesale market for energy companies and has been for a while
Millsy I saw an article saying some so-called smart meters may lose their smart capability when 2g/3g networks are turned off
Do you have a trust issue with them or just concerned that the tech is shit?
