    And people are billed on energy usage, not power, which is kWh.

            Actually you can all fook off as being wrong, as the way to benchmark Energy usage is to translate the different usage type into British Thermal Units and divide by the available Square Footage of the property in question.

            So now please all go and measure your houses (or horses which was I originally put!)

              At 100 amps would the leccy bill not be around £130k a year. For that amount of electric it'd be more profitable to own a weed farm.

              Then again there are already enough Wilmslows we don't need to grow any more.

                I'm told that our local hosting hall burns £50k a month in leccy, and we've got 5 more dotted about the country...

                    We're talking per phase, right?

                    From memory it's around 9.9p per Kwh.

                      Around 100 amps combined in multiple locations ...
