Not just nimbyism sometimes though. My auld lad was all on board with the proposed wind farm up on the hills beyond our old land (he was in for a windfall (ahem) himself as theyâd have needed some access back of our land). In his word âsome cunt from Wicklowâ was the one who stopped it all happening over âthe fucking hen harrierâ. All locals were on board (they saw the dollar signs).

How are you only consuming 8kwh? Is your heating on gas or something?
I was reading something lately that made out with the rebate from the ESB for energy sent to the grid that a battery would never pay for itself
I have oil CH but it wouldnât have been on all day anyway bar maybe an hour in mornâŚthatâs one of biggest issues with air to water imoâŚpaying for some level of heat all day

Agree, as long as the rebate stays. I suspect it will reduce in time. That said, a battery can always be retrofitted into the system after.
Why do you suspect that?
Not VAT free though unless you install day 1
