Electricity meters

Tenner a pitch , leccy metered this is the way forward ..

May discourage caravans and awnings resembling Currys electrical stores !

When we tour Europe if there is a meter then we just rely on our solar generated power and gas. The next CL we are going to has a elec meter but we won't be hooking up

and that is how it should be Oneputt. Three cheers for choice.

EHU meters are quite common on the continent, ie Germany and Belgium to name but 2.  We personally have no need of EHU with a solar panel, so don't always bother taking EHU.

Is it fair? Well, people have a choice and you've said yourself that you managed for 3 nights without EHU.  Some might say that having a meter could make users more careful about how much they use, whereas on a flat rate, some people will use anything and everything, because they've paid for it.

As to how much meters charge, I don't know anything about that.  I did think there was something about the resale of electricity some years ago which is why the CC stopped offering the choice of whether people wanted EHU or not, but I don't know the finer points of that.

The Spanish site we use charges €0.35 per Kw would love to know what per Kw a UK site is allowed to charge?

Average UK price is approx 14p/kWh (doesn't include any contribution to standing charge of £70/yr which would be 20p/day) from:

By my calculation your Spanish rate is 28p/kWh!

Yes, Spain has domestic electricity prices which are among the highest in Europe, and UK is among the cheapest.

I’d go for that as long as they installed coin operated showers at the same time so I wasn’t subsidising someone’s shower.

I'd go for that if they metered the on site water usage so those 'big beasts' who fill 50gallon tanks wasn't subsidised by others
