Thoughts?
New nuclear reactors = Good. No other currently existing technology comes even close to providing the regular, reliable power supply needed if we're going to hit decarbonisation targets. The mini-reactors especially are an exciting technology.
Offshore wind farms = Also good. There is a wealth of experience and capability in the UK for maintaining offshore installations gleaned from 40+ years of North Sea oil. Not a single wind farm should be opened on land until the possibilities of offshoring them have been exhausted.
Hydrogen = on the face of it it's slightly insane that so little progress has been made Globally in fully harnessing the potential of the most abundant substance in the Universe. Big room for improvement here.
In general the move towards becoming largely self sufficient with the fossil fuels we're still going to need to use is also a good idea, but I do forsee issues with the oil companies. They're not going to want to sell expensively discovered and extracted oil and gas at a discount.
Disappointing not to see a requirement for all new housing and buildings to have at least some solar generating capacity though. The technology is proven and not that expensive. That and moves towards improvements in insulation. |  |

A nuclear war you dope. It would be a prime target. Even a terrorist would see it as a target as well. |
Swansea would be a prime target in a nuclear war anyway. It was during the Cold War. Might as well have decent power generation in that case.

In the event of a nuclear war, I wouldn’t worry what the targets were, because we’d all be fooked.
Just be honest as a Welsh Nationalist you are happy for wales to remain poor |  |

Genuinely. It isn't. The dumping of it in the channel got a marine licence, that is a high bar to meet. The Swansea lagoon didn't get one, because the impact to the environment was too great
I'm not picking a fight but it's been jumped on by the Welsh nationalists because it sounds dangerous and comes from England, nimbys in Cardiff don't want it so they'll vote for McEvoy because he's on their side. | | | |

Correct a 6kw solar panel system with a 10kw battery system costs around £10,000 and produces electricity at about 10p per KW. That is currently a third of the price tye power companies are charging. Annual savings are about £900 per year based on average usage. You will also get paid around 6p per KW exported to the grid which will give an extra income of between £120 to £150 per year. Payback is around 10 years less if you electricity prices keep increasing.
You will also save on gas if you use electricity to heat your water tank rather than gas and of course you can also partially heat your house with electricity rather than gas. | |

What are you talking about lol London already has nuclear power stations on its door step. |
Spectacularly missing the point.
Thats why the sentence refers to Welsh government.

Why not dump Englands nuclear waste in England..?
Sorry if you find this in anyway controversial.
No need to worry about high bars.
We simply do not want nuclear mud brought to Wales. None. | |

Did you actually read the post it was about solar not nuclear.
I think you will find a lot of people would welcome thousands of well paid jobs that will come to Wales during construction of a new nuclear power station as well as well paid jobs running it.
Wales needs investments and jobs.
Only the greens and PC are against investment and progress. | |

I have been reading that you can get a 6Kw system for between 6 and 7 thousand pounds. Surely it makes sense (at the current prices) to make that change.
I am curious on a separate question. If there is an electricity outage in the area, will my house still have power? |  |

Not sure about the outage, but I did the maths based on my circumstances a few weeks ago and was stunned to learn that I wouldn’t break even over the course of the 25 years, I’d actually be down a couple of hundred quid. Obviously if the SEG tariffs go up I’ll be better off, but there’s a huge ante in what the companies are prepared to pay. Octopus is about £6p while EDF is 1p. | | | |

If you have a backup battery and a main isolation switch to disconnect your battery from the network you will have power provided by your batteries. Just depends how often you have power cuts in your area as to whether to go for that options. | |

If you use the UK average of 3500KW per year you will save 3000KW which at the current price of 30p per KW means savings of £900 per year so with pay for the cost of the system in ten years. Even less depending on how much you get for exporting any electricity to the network | |

Need to research it thoroughly J, think most of us have missed the boat on Solar, I looked a little bit into it, when I built Koi pond and it wasn't cost effect as far as I was concerned, be careful who you deal with regarding Solar there's loads of chancers out there and you can get inundated with phone calls, some are worse than insurance companies  |  |

Very simple my annual electricity usage was 3500 kW which is about the UK average. This was before I got a solar system. During the last 12 months my usage was 500kw. Of the 6000kw generated I used 3000kw plus around 1000kw on my electric car and exported 2000kw to the national grid.
Happy to help. | |

Most of the solar companies provided are very good and have to be a government registered solar provider. The estimates they use are the government approved figures and because of the improvement in solar panels and inverters your actual output will be around 20% more than the governments figures. | |

Thanks for the info, I find it very odd that you think you only saved 3000KW when you generated 6000KW.
Surely you saved the whole 3500KW plus the 1000KW for the car and still had an excess of 1500KW which you sent to the grid?
Assuming you had to use 500KW during the winter when generation was low the Grid must have paid you for the 2000KW that they got from you, didn't they to offset it?
If not why would you give it to them? | | | |

That's the thing, a chap I know got in at virtually the start and had is installed on a government grant and his rates and returns are excellent, might have changed now with the way things are, I don't know.
But now they're expensive to buy and have fitted and rates aren't so great either. [Post edited 10 Apr 2022 19:58]
