There is not a chance she used that amount in 3 months.

If they did read it, the last crowd (as she moved) were estimating her bill all along and now she is hit with the balance. Sheā€™d still do a deal with them based on future usage and park this amount til they averaged it out.

All providers only have to read the meters twice a year. (I think Electric Ireland might do with quarterly) They all advise that you ring in with your reading monthly. Which is nice of them!

Youā€™re more than likely right but the juice has been used one way or the other and as Judge Judy says ā€œyouā€™ve eaten the steak now you gotta payā€

Sheā€™ll come to some arrangement but sheā€™ll keep her eye on the monthly consumption from here out.

This fucking cuntā€¦ā€¦

Climate change causing HOT summers and apparent Stormier winters yet he fears for low winds?

ā€œ Speaking during the Committee, Eirgrid CEO Mark Foley told TDs and Senators that the two things that could cause electricity shortages in Ireland this winter would be a lack of wind in Ireland, meaning that they will need to buy supplies from the UK to make up the shortfall.

ā€œOur greatest risk will manifest at times of very low to zero wind, and low imports from Great Britain,ā€ Foley said ā€œ

We are all being taken for mugs as these cunts reach further & further into our pockets.

You cant store electricity in the national grid. And itā€™s slow to turn up/down/off power sources, so if theres too mich wind energy its just ā€˜dumpedā€™. A more efficient grid would mean we could keep all wind power i presume.

A source within the ESB told me recently that even if we put Solar/PV panels on every roof in the country & built more Wind Farms the current grid canā€™t handle the power.

Our Electricity grid network, our Water systems are all in need of repair that governments past & present ignore.

All the while Data Centres are being built whilst the drive to go full electric with Road cars gets more & more promotion.

They have taken away most of the BIK benefit from owning an electric car from next Jan so I donā€™t really know how hard they are pushing it

Another thing to check is the break fee for ending a contract early. It could be as little as ā‚¬50. Some of the deals offer a bigger discount year one then get more expensive year two. Thereā€™s no reason why you canā€™t just break the contract and pay the fee if youā€™re going to save more by moving

Lets hope it isnā€™t the owner pushing the EV itself if the electric charger points are out of order.

God knows what thatā€™s going to cost the taxpayer by the time you consider the impact on the pension liability.

The unions would be well advised to sign that ASAP.
