Write it into a notebook.

Depends. If Vlad Putin decides to use the microwave, he could be right. At least we’ll be warm though
There was a Russian lad doing a livestream a few days ago. He had the gas cooker on for 24 hours and had a camera pointing at it.
It would have cost him the equivalent of €1.44 a month to leave it on for a month.

The cooker 
Apparently if you were charging your phone 24/7 for a year it would cost a euro

Think that’s if you drain and fully charge it every day. Not 24/7 charging.
If you haven’t a backup generator got now you may as well forget about it
Mate is a spark he has installed 21 generators this year. Fucking stupidity. If there was power outages you would be talking minutes maybe an hour and at that everything will be done to keep the lights on in houses. Businesses will have to lose out first.
The cost of installing a generator would far outweigh any potential miniscule benefit.

We lost power for over 3 hours more than 5 times last winter

Apparently its things that use heat that cost you.
Kettle, washing machine, dishwasher, dryer, oven hairdryer etc and obviously heat itself. The turning of electricty into heat is wasteful. Turning electricity into electricty doesn’t cost much.

Are you living on a mountain? We haven’t lost power once in the 6 years I’ve lived in the house, bar one day in the summer a few years back when they scheduled work on a power line nearby
