UK sites with metered electricity

CY, you're right, of course...

I couldn't decide from the OP if they were looking for sites that metered leccy because they wanted to visit them for fairness reasons, had a curiosity for the different charging methods employed or do we like them or not?

probably a bit of all....

I think we've had plenty of debate on like/not and whether/how the club might do it but not many comments on other sites doing it, other than overseas where it's quite common.

not sure there's much more to dig out that's directly relevant to the OP, just more of us rambling a bit OT...and for that I apologise, lol.....tis the way...😉

"With the price of electricity rising year on year, and the recently announced major increases, many CL sites have now chosen to meter the use of EHU and charge visitors for EHU per kWh at cost price in line with the OFGEM regulations."

posted by a CL owner on this CL thread where I asked how CLs could make this change and maintain prices....the metering being, presumably, to detach the fast rising electric portion from the rest of the price components.

I don’t know about “many” sites, we have yet to come across one. But then we are not likely to visit anything that costs us more than £20 per night anyway. With or without metering. 

Just came across an article in the December issue of the Camping & Caravanning Club Magazine (page 16) featuring a futuristic design for a new solar powered motorhome.  It's self-sufficient for power, both on the road and on-site. 

If the design can also be adapted for caravans, we won't be needing EHU in the future - we will just have to chop down all the trees so that pitches aren't shaded from the sun

Can't see it catching on in Britain for all year round travel with the lack of sunshine, especially in late Autum and through winter. Would make for a very expensive way of touring over here, even if one could afford to buy one in the first place.

Earlier on this year a mothballed coal fired power atation had to be brought back into use as at one point their was not enough sun or wind to supply "green power"

Today with wind on again it is still supplying one gigawatt. 

As the country becomes more and more dependent on wind, wave ( which is wind dependent) and solar there will be a shortage of a back-up power supply.   Nuclear is just too expensive as lifetime costs of the clean-up of the first reactor are not yet known, and coal and gas will not be available to fire power stations.  We should be starting to educate the populace now about there being power-cuts in the future. Electricity is no longer an always-on power in a green world.

I was reading an article the other day about 'Green' electricity it claimed that 'Wind' power isn't as green as we think. The claim was that the blades are made of Fibreglass which is the worst material to recycle so has to be put into landfill.

I'm not sure if this is true or not but if it is, then that's a lot of landfill going to be required. Which does  reduce the 'green' credentials somewhat.

Yes but it's possible that the old type blade composition will change over time to a more "green" option. 

Although this is nothing much to do with sites or meters, as brue touched on above, we as a world population have started moving away from the power generation and use of the recent past towards new ways, although the new ways are as yet unknown. "May you live in interesting times".
