This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

[413x]

About similar to mine, with the same sort of deal. God I hope the current prices go down before then...

I can't see it myself.
Well. I guess I hope it comes down a bit. But it's hope more than a belief.

I guess I'll use the time to figure out if solar is worth it. If its looking this bad (or dare I say it.. Worse) in 2024 ill absolutely be looking for cost mitigation some how!

Doubt I will be going solar but will definitely be putting cash aside to cushion the blow. I consider myself very fortunate that my old deal finished late last year and I fixed at a non stupid price. My DD is £125 a month and in credit...

Ive been paying 230 a month. When they did the smart meter some guy came round and took an official reading. Now I'm 600 in credit!

Think gonna ask for 400 of that back.

I would, better in your bank account than theirs...

Please turn your TVs off stand by. My TV uses 60w of energy - based on the smart meter when its on standby.

Then your TV is broken, most will be under 1w in standby.

Mines only 50w when watching the thing

Plasma? (OP not you)

 

[413x]

My plasma barely registers on standby.
It's a really old g30

When on however...

It's amazing really how much difference a bright to dark picture changes the power draw!

90W for me but that's 65" and set fairly bright because of its location.

My plasma hits 300w when on!

My tv is 10 years old Sony 32”

Mine uses 0.5-0.6w in standby though can be a little higher if stuff is connected, averages around 60-70w in use but can peak well over 150w in bright scenes.

I thought standby by law had to draw less than a watt?

 

[kona786]

There's no way its uses 60W in standby

 

[jpaul]

one watt is later 2013+ eu regs and connectedness is a justification to surpass that
checked bedroom tv/radio which is nearly 20yrs old is listed as 2W, when philips made sets that lasted, plus proper speakers.

Condolences...

My 65" OLED uses like 0.5w in standby, sounds like you need an upgrade.

I was surprised on how much more efficient appliances have become, a report I read recently said white goods are ~40% more efficient than one even a decade ago.

Mine is over 10 years old, it won't use 60w in standby. It's either still on or your reading is wrong.

Only seems to be vacuum cleaners that are a eu energy farce - dyson - let's make it cordless which seems to obviate responsibility for current during charging, or, power used whilst it works at max power for 15mins; if you have Octopus 5/7.5p you can charge overnight.
