UK sites with metered electricity

this is interesting as from my own experience on metered sites (albeit abroad) and TG's earlier posting, we have no trouble at all in operating inside the usual 'free' 4 kWh per day.

This is true but it was hot so no heating on and no hot water either as we use the block. If it was in the UK and middle of winter then I think its fair to say that you could double or triple what we used. Again that doesn't worry me to much because if I was at home I'd be using it anyway. 

It depends on where you live in the UK as well, here in Scotland you can require heating on for 8 or 9 months a year, so the clubs costs for electricity on sites up here will be considerably greater than the South of England. 

I'm still for a restriction on usage though. I hate waste.

The club already does this.

That's a lot of usage, we have a 3 bed bungalow and our electric consumption is around 15kwh per day.

That's with underfloor heating in the bathroom.

We have an LPG tank for the heating, hot water and cooking on the hob, oven is electric. Heating thermostat set to 22c

We do have 10 SPs so tend to most things like washing machine, dishwasher and tumbler during daylight hours (when/if its sunny)

Having said that, our bungalow uses 130 to 150 kWh a day when weather is cold so by heating the van and maybe even the awning as opposed to the house we are still saving the planet!!!!!

Wow, if that is the case I can easily see am LV using 40Kw per day running everything on electric. Our home heating is gas fired and really only runs in the cooler months. The equivalent average Kw useage is 58Kw per day. Everything else is electric and our average usage is 18Kw per day so total winter useage would average about 76Kw per day

I think they have some sites which are non EHU...are there sites with some pitches EHU and some not?....like C&CC. 

also, there aren't pitches where there is a bollard but this could, optionally, not be used...

in order to be flexible and to respond to different customer requirements, a pitch could be both EHU and non-EHU...not that difficult to 'turn it off' or 'remove a fuse/breaker'...

of course, this would require a person in authority (warden) to implement which, again, would push the price up....

is their no escape from any (even beneficial) change causing price rises?

perhaps the club is happy to let their costs rise and to just pass them on to customers...

In this 'green age' shouldn't we be approaching the problem from the other end and look to reducing those overheads instead?

They should be looking at it from all angles, whether an overhead or not and hopefully they are not ignoring the competition. I already use a couple of commercial sites which I consider better value than the nearby Club sites and of course if there is a C&CC site nearby, I will always consider that in preference because of the age discount.

One commercial site I use gives out a label to attach to the EHU lead at the van end if you don't have that your EHU is not valid.
