RE: Condensing boilers & microbore pipe

[<mailinglists@xxxxxxx>]

Not wanting to start a flame war (as this stuff does genuinely interest
me!), when did this change? As the bit on Working Lunch was on TV about two
weeks ago, live outside broadcast, with a bloke from PowerGen asking for
more people (in certain  areas) to sign up for a wider scale trial. I was
interested as I'm thinking about getting a new boiler (and PG were
subsidising them), but sadly wasn't in the right area...

Well unfortunately with the new tarriffs and pricing structures it is
almost
impossible now. Like I said we have 1 MW CHP that cannot sell back into the
grid. It is causing a lot of problems, because whereas CHP plants that were
insatlled 2 years ago were seriously viable (they were selling back into
the
grid) now they are going under. And you dont sell it back to the REC you
sell it back to the grid.

What are you going to do with the electricity that you produce? You cant
sell it back to the grid

Errr, that's what the chap on 'Working Lunch' was doing... He was flgging
it
back to PowerGen, as when all the stuff in his house was turned off, the
elecy meter ran backwards...
