Re: Electricity Bills

Post by sueb »

Has anyone taken up the option to pay a monthly direct debit for their electricity bills?

Just wondering how it has worked out for you?
How long did it take once the form was completed?
Is it worth doing?

I see it as a way of budgeting for the highs and lows in the year.

Many thanks in advances of replies.

I arranged for EAC to debit my account bimonthly with the usage as read or estimate.

I've also received an estimated bill that charged for a meter reading. It was based on last year's usage, when the house was empty, so was 0 kWh. It still came to €7.70 though! I'm steeling myself for a whopper of a bill next time.

Inclusive of all charges my bill dated 14 July works out at 0.37 cents per unit.
I just divided the amount payable by the number of units used (not concerned about the breakdown in costs).

It would be necessary though to know that breakdown because if you consumed only a few units the consumption-dependent costs will account for the majority of the total, whereas if you consumed a lot the fixed costs will pale. I´d be curious to know the consumption dependent cost in order to know how much my PV-system is saving me.

Same calculation for our end of June bill is €0.05 per kilowatt based on consumption with net metering, so roughly 85% less per unit. That’s pretty consistent year round compared with our other non net metered properties.

Saw this. Read it a couple of times. Can not fathom it out.

Anyone thoughts on it please.
