Electricity and gas - consumption and generation data
In our experience investing in microgeneration increased our sensitivity to possibilities for energy saving. Microgeneration has been very successful for us. Our base measurements were for 2004-5 (the year before the installation of photovoltaic cells).
If we include the microgeneration, then we now generate more electricity than we use in a year so our net electricity reduction is 104%.
