Electricity in sight

The quote has come in and is more than 5000 pounds lower than we thought. So we have decided to connect to the grid. It means we won't have to buy a battery bank, back up generator and inverter. It's good news for the budget although not quite as eco as we had planned.
Ann is now toying with the idea of a conventional fridge rather than a cool box and an electric cooker. It would be cheaper.... Why is it so expensive to be green ???

Off grid or not ?

After long and careful consideration we have approached our local electricity supplier for a quote for grid connection. We still want to put up the wind turbine and solar panels but with a grid connection and the new feed in tariffs we wouldn't need the battery bank, inverter and back up generator.
Those three item cost 12k to buy, so if the quote comes in below that figure we would be no worse off.
We should know within 6 weeks...
