  1. NEW INVESTIGATION: **The Green Man Who Took £17.5 Million.**

    What do filings reveal about Dale Vince, Ecotricity, the Electric Highway transaction and the money moving between Vince and his business interests?

    We followed the documents, cross-checked the filings and offered Vince, Ecotricity and Green Britain Group a right to reply. No response was received before publication.

  2. @okohll @abigaildombey.bsky.social Octopus kindly capped the pipe and disconnected my meter for free though is not my retail energy supplier. Then we had an interesting dance working out who owned* the meter to take it away - quite the reverse of shirking responsibility!

    *SGN (Southern Gas Networks) owns it, it turns out, and came to take it away. #SGN, #Octopus and #Ecotricity get about 9/10 for their joint handling of the process!

  7. #KemiBadenoch says that the #UK was built on #FossilFuels.

    But #Ecotricity founder #DaleVince dismisses Bad Enoch's fantasy. He says that the UK was "built on slavery, on racism, on colonialism, on Empire. We abused the rest of the world to be a rich country"

    Dale Vince is of course entirely right. So his comments should be commonplace and unworthy of sharing.

    But the UK has never de-imperialised. So Dale is on his own. 😡

  12. Interestingly a simple kWh/HDD regression for our full electricity imports fits reasonably well R^2>0.75) and gives a total year prediction close to that of our electricity supplier #Ecotricity partly because almost all imports are in winter for space heat...

  22. Just had to call #Ecotricity and ask why they've randomly increased my direct debit by £50/month, again. There was a lot of waffle and very little explanation.

    They used to be so ethical and good, but they have got SO shady the last few years... every time they change my billing amount it's because they've ridiculously overestimated my usage again, kinda feels like they're just using me as a handy overdraft facility.

    Multiply this behaviour by their customer base and it must add up to quite a tasty credit balance sitting in their bank every month.

  27. “If people only live here because they pay less tax, they should fuck off,” said Mr Vince. “This is a brilliant country. There’s no way people won’t live here because of a fairer tax system.”
