Steamer Quay refurb removal of non EHU pitches

Removed by me...

Steamer Quay would be the idea site to try metered electricity because there is currently no EHU infrastructure. As they are starting from new the addition of metering would probably be of minimal extra cost compared to converting and existing site. Steamer Quay also has the advantage of having relatively few pitches which would further reduce costs but provide useful information on how the Club proceed or otherwise with metering on other Club sites. All that metering will do is remove the cost from the Club to the user, so overall the average Club member is unlikely to notice much difference but those that are happy to rely on their own power generation might benefit from a modest cost saving. There is also the assumption that electricity prices will continue to remain high which I think is wrong. Whilst we don't yet generate all of our electricity from renewable sources that element in years to come will increase and should lower costs which will add another question about whether metering has any cost benefits to Club/Members?
