Mike,
Many tears ago in the UK, we suddenly 'used' an incredible extra 1000kw from normal in one quarter. I suspected the metre had 'jumped', ( it was inside the house (UK), normal eddy current disc type ). Anyway, the poco refused to admit this could be a problem, and I had to stump up the money. Funny, they changed the meter for a new one though.....
Is this possible?

Trumpy ! Perhaps your neighbours are running the dope house. Check for extension leads running over their fence and into your garage. [Linked Image]

Stranger things have happened. ( even in Ashburton.

I think the Elecricity Commission is reducing its levy because we've all discovered that they're not actually doing anything.

Hmmm... I wonder if I could argue the same principle with property tax and my local council...... [Linked Image]

Pauluk I think you'll find that your Local Council aren't actually reducing your taxes. Instead they are increasing them as the Council gets more efficient at doing nothing. [Linked Image]

Note in the paper today:

Electricity Line Charges On The Increase.
Electricity Ashburton has announced that after 5 years of having a set line charge for consumers, it will be increasing it's Line Charges, this comes after the wholesale price of electricity was raised recently.
Is it just me, or is everything just having the price bumped up on it?.
I don't notice that EA is making my wages bigger to compensate for the increase. [Linked Image]
