These have now been lodged with Compainies House. The Club lost £10m in operating the network during the year of COVID's arrival. I had thought it would be higher so I think not too bad an outcome but there is nothing to compare it with yet?  Interestingly this year I note an energy consumption report was included, something I have not noticed before so I assume this to be a new requirement. Electricity consumption was 30 million Kwh in a year when sites were closed for some months!

Where do you get this need to calibrate electricity meters from JVB. My house hold meter is never calibrated once installed so why is there requirement to calibrate those used elsewhere and where is there a binding statement that this must be done?.

Your house does not need to be accurate to sell electricity ,it is the same with fuel pumps at garages

I'm not selling, I am buying the same as I would on a pitch or an EV charging point. Where is the statement that this is necessary?

I don't see the club going over to meters, not anytime soon, if ever.

Firstly does any other large campsite provider have meters? Will the club risk losing possible customers?

Secondly the cost of installing meters, I can't remember what the figure was the last time but to install a meter for each pitch on 200+ sites would be considerable and that cost cannot be got back. Not when it lost £10m?

If the usual rate was 38 and now 30 whatever units then really not too bad as said by Steve. 

I've been to many holiday cottages and AirB&Bs ,recently (some with electric outdoor heaters) and none of them had metered fuel costs so why should the club have it just because it's a campsite I have no idea?

Any metered service  that sells direct to the public has to have calibrated meters , not aware that gas or electric companies work it

Thanks Peedee

I have downloaded the PDF so I can read offline.

I know electricity usage has been mention but I thought it interesting how much gas was used, just over half of the electricity used. Will the gas, at some stage in the future be replaced by electricity or will heat pumps be enough to service the average toilet block, probably will require a bit of both?

But you have still not pointed out where that is a stated requirement.
