We are now at the beginning of the start of 2022 winter
months, but unlike last winter, we now have a global wide gas shortage due to
the invasion of Ukraine by Putin of Russia.
On top of this, we have big increases in food costs, not
helped by higher gas/oil fuel costs, all of which is affecting household
budgets.
The government has announced a £45 billion energy support to
everybody, to freeze the rising cost of gas and electricity for 2 years from
1st October 2022.
To those with a lot of value in their homes, even with the
expected increases in interest rates on Mortgages, this is the time to talk to
your bank or BS requesting a loan to be attached to your mortgage.
Investing in Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Solar PVT Hybrids, and
a Heat Pump along with increased insulation is the only solution in reducing
our energy use, so in the future is affordable.
I see no way back to the 2.8p a kWh for gas, those days are
long gone, and for those looking at electricity only supplies, then solar PV,
Solar PVT Hybrids and heat pumps is the way forward.
