I have come across an interesting dilema with electricity on site.
We have been used to paying a pitch fee and then a nightly electricity charge, or a van incl electric fee.
Now it seems meters are being installed. They are not as we know them at home but just a simple digit meter that shows the total amount used from the hook up. On our particular site I can not see any calibration certificate or electrical safety sticker on the hook up to verify its status.
Now there's an even trickier situation. The site do charge tourers by the night for a pitch incl electric. But also they have seasonal tourers on the same hook up's. These are going to be billed for their electric at the end of the season.
This end of season bill could be as high as the seasonal pitch it's self, which is not in the hundreds of pounds bracket, but above that.
There is also no mention yet on the pitch fes of just how much per unit the electricity is. But based on our winter usage at 12p per unit we use £4-30 per 24Hrs.
It looks on the face of it like metered electric is on it's way but has not yet found a properly managed way to work.
