Energy user’s prices have increased 59% in the last three years and it is set to get even worst. The Government have introduced restrictions on energy consumption my penalising large energy users with peak rate electricity costing over 400% more than the off-peak rate. Add in the issues of grid distribution and solar energy solutions makes perfect sense.
