I don't beleive it

I check and log my smart meter's readings, every Sunday morning. Gas, electric, water and then feed the reading into a spread sheet, which then calculates the cost of each for the week, based on unit cost, standing charges. Works out the total for the lot, for the week. It then tries to predict the likely annual costing.



The last five weeks of electrical consumption were - £9.47, £9.64, £9.47, £9.47, £9.47. Quite a coincidence. Gas and water vary each week, by quite a lot..


My electricity consumption is surprisingly uniform

You went as bit mad in week 2 didn't you?

Two rounds of toast and an extra cup of tea?

Bill Wright presented the following explanation :

We decided the extra 17p was affordable :-)

It is down by around 15% on last year at this time, despite price increases.

Looks about right, taking my last 12 months readings I have.

1 x £41 1 x £39 3 x £36 3 x £34 1 x £32 2 x £23 (on hols) 1 x £29

So not much variance between months, 6 of the months within £2 of each other.
