Reply to: Gas and electric bill > £1000

Around 100 amps combined in multiple locations ...

Thats 24Kw single phase. Your growing at a good pace by the sound of it, although it does sound more like a cannibis farm than a server farm....

Only 50 amps peak here. We're talking per phase, right?
From memory it's around 9.9p per Kwh.

Our peak power usage is easily around 100 amps and that uses modern power efficient CPUs...peak

At 100 amps would the leccy bill not be around £130k a year.

How about ... no?

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

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.

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

Cannot grab the double facepalm image quick enough.

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!)

Not wishing to be pedantic (I'm naturally good at that), but power is measured in Watts not Amps. You're referring to current drawn.

Apparently they don't apply in the Forest of Dean,

no need for that is there, we pop over into wales to 'sample' the sheep

Oh and last quarter was @£98 all in bottle of gin style

Which site were you visiting when you chanced upon that one MF? Or did you google "young boys in the bath"?

Heating the large indoor swimming pool and hot tub costs a fortune.

But it's nice taking a leisurely swim and a soak in the hot tub after a short day at the office.

Looks peachy.
