Hi,
Our site are going to start from this season charging for use of electricity over "the average comsumption" . Whilst I do not have a problem with this and appreciate the reasons for the change, I have no idea if the 400 units per pitch per season they have set is an average/adequate consumption.
Our season runs from 19 March to 1 November 2106, approx. 32 weeks, I know our comsumption will vary according to the time of year, what appliances we use etc but wanted to ask if anyone knows actual figures of their own electric use and whether 400 units seems adequate?
I would like to remain within the limit set for environmental reasons and of course added costs so will take any appropriate measures to achieve this eg using gas more, restricting use of heavy drain items or buying solar panels, but obviously need to weigh up the cost of purchase of solar panels and whether any measures are necessary.
Thanks for reading, look forward to any help you can give.

I went on a campsite that charged by consumption after 5 days on electric I had used£1.87p worth ,I would accept a weekly charge of £3 . Any more is a rip-off.
