its also practically free if the desalination plants runn off solar power (ie at times when curtailment would otherwise take place) ...

It is a small increase but its interesting for two reasons.. 1) which tarriffs the EAC is increasing (network access rather than cost of generating electricty) and 2) at somepoint network access is going to become seperate from generation when we seperation running the network from generation (1 oct...

At traffic lights the white line is a mandatory stop line, if you go over the line at a red light you have committed an offence. Yes, but will the fine be the same as for the much bigger offence of crossing an intersection at red? As far as i am aware there is no offence of 'crossing an intersectio...

The EAC will not pay anything for the exported units - instead you get a credit against your next EAC bill and its not clear as to how much the credit will be (€0.08-0.10/kWh?) There is a real issue here - there are many businesses which provide solar power installations to domestic premises - how m...

more than one picture taken..

And the offence is crossing the white line on a red signal.. So if no part of the car moves over a white line you should not get a fine..

Interesting figures today in the press that electricity supply if sufficient in that heat wave we actually have. Here part of the article: "The TSO had said earlier that as of midday, the country’s electricity demand was 1,002 megawatts, and that this was covered by 513 megawatts of production...

Hi Sorry, I thought what you were trying to model was whether people without PV should enter into the new net billing contact. You indicated they would certainly be better off by doing so. my analysis is that it depends on: 1) whether it is compulory to buy a battery and how much the grant is for th...

you can cross the line and wait in the middle - you just need to ensure that the whole of your vehicle can cross the line whilst the light is on green....

The good thing it has focused peoples minds when approaching traffic lights. I am not convinced this is a good thing The problem is the lidl crossroads in paphos here they have changed the entire phases of the lights before cameras it was opposite flows of traffic had green lights and there was a p...

When turning right at the lights is it ok to proceed over the white line and wait until an opportunity arises to take the turn? ( Standard practice)... Was doing this and saw a flash ,but not sure if it was another car that just crossed the white line as the lights went red .. Confusing.... It is o...

The camera is activated if any part of your car moves over the white line just before the lights while the lights are on Red. So ensure all of the car is behind the white line just before the lights all the time a red light is shown. And if part of your car is over the white line just before the lig...

Hi Useful exercise but I am not convinced by the methodology you have used. I cant find anything on the EAC that shows how this will work going forward. However my understanding is that the current system for net billing is as follows Credit for export to go against the bill Any excess credit to get...

lol.. tell me you were joking.. and you can actually do simple maths..

There has been a lot of noise in the press about the rise in the tariffs charged by the EAC for electric use. We were told at the end of the saga that the tariffs would increase by about 3%. But if you look at the revised tariffs from 1 July as published on the EAC website you will see that the only...

So inspired by this conversation I did a similar experiment today. And as with Anarita John - I am exporting energy and importing energy at the same time presumably on different lines (so line 1 may be net importing and line 2 and 3 are net exporting at the same time) The meter I have does not do ve...

I’ve assumed that the current net metering is a far better option than net billing? I’ve done a little bit of research and read your responses and that’s the conclusion I’ve reached. Hence a hurried application going in with 🤞🏻it gets approved under current system. We don’t stay year round - but ma...

you appear to be suggesting that imports and exports are calculated on a line by line basis.

i thought the 3 phase meters in Cyprus used vector suming to calculate a net import or export over all 3 phases rather than measuring each line individually..

Cyprus.

As currently outlined it will be economic madness to want to install a domestic net billing system post 1 August and as such domestic installers may start to cease to exist by autumn.
