A Conversation at the NEC

You're obviously on a very good deal, Rufs. Most people that I have spoken to locally say that their electric price now is close to, if not actually at, the governments capped figure of £0.34 per unit. A CL that we know have metered pitches. Their commercial rate for electric is £1.05 per kW which is the price that they charge users via the meter. At that rate it is probably cheaper to heat water and run the fridge etc using LPG.

yes, lecce provider screwed up and gave me a 3 year fixed deal at the same price as my previous 3 year deal, silly billies,

Wow £1.05 per kw, would not be heating the awning at those rates, not that we tour much in the UK, and certainly not in the winter months.

not long returned from Spain €0.15 per kw, with a 5kw free allowance per day, and €15 per day for pitch, we sure are doing something wrong in this country.

p.s. fully serviced very large pitch, 7.3mtr caravan, awning, car and still ample space to sit outside.

not screaming as cant really dispute your figures as i have no idea what the going rate for lecce is on a campsite, at home we are on a 3 year fixed tariff at 12.5 pence per kw so i guess if the blower on thermostat is only running for a total of 30 mins then you get something like 6 pence, surprised a TV is so low on power, but as said dont have one in the caravan, however, if things like a TV etc are so low on power i am puzzled as to how the lecce consumption on sights has risen so much, well that is what the club say.

That's a very good rate for Spain, the sites we were on were 45c and 47c with a 4kw allowance, Acsi rate. Where you on over 31 days rate. What site was it please.

 That rate doesn't sound right. We overwintered at Alannia resort (Camping Marjal) for 7 years and the rate was 35c after the 4kw allowance (12 month rate) and the site we moved to before lockdown was 40c with no allowance (2020).

JK, I can assure you that was the rate we paid in November last year at Los Madriles and the site at Benicarlo. Both sites apologised that the charge had gone up. As it happens we paid nothing as we were within allowance.

Or were you replying to rufs🤔
