Apologies if not in right section.
Need to get something of chest and warn others if not already aware.
Father built steel frame building on outlying land about 25 years ago, proper job, concrete floor, apron area etc etc.
Decided at same time to have power put on, just in case, EDF.
Father passed away and I now manage on behalf of mother.
Average annual electricity consumption less than £10 annually.
We reluctantly accept that we have to pay a standing charge.
Last week mother received letter from EDF saying effective 25/01 charges will be doubling from 25p to 50p a unit. Daily standing charge will be doubling from £1 to £2 per day.
Totally understand unit charge may need to rise given current market, but £730 standing charge annually - really???
Once we have worked through the cost of disconnection, and potentially cost of reconnection if needed in the future, it looks as though it’s going to be goodbye EDF hello generator!
