@rstein @thorsheim that's not how #utilities work:
One cannot unsubscribe to #sewage and having neither #electricity nor #water will get the building condemned.
Same with #BuildingInsurance: They need to have that againdt #fire or the building will be condemned & seized by the City Fire Chief until reinsured retroactively and fully inspected by a Fire Inspector.

UK PSA: RadioTeleSwitch Service to be withdrawn in June 2025 (30th June apparently).
If your electricity supply meter uses the RTS service to switch between peak and off peak rates then you need to ensure your electricity meter is updated as soon as possible.
Upgrading to a Smart Meter is the suggested option.
Technical details on the RTS service which send a phase modulated message via 198KHz on the BBC Radio 4 signal is covered by @officialm3hhy in this episode.
Actually not a bad design other than relying on Long Wave radio signals which uses 500KW valve based transmitters; the valves are now out of stock and no more are manufactured anywhere

Informed Comment · Solar Power doubling every 3 Years; 41% of world Electricity now Low-CarbonAnn Arbor (Informed Comment) - It may be that Trump can slow the advance of renewables, including solar energy, in the United States. That would be a shame for the US, because consumers will have to pay more for electricity, the grid will be dirtier, and the country will fall farther behind China in the race to dominate solar panel sales. Currently China has cornered the market, producing 80% of panels globally. Trump cannot, however, stand in the way of the growth of solar world-wide. Let me explain why. The energy analysis company Ember has just issued a new report

Complicating matters, #tech companies are approaching multiple #power utility providers …seeking multiple bids for the same project, inflating power demand outlooks….
"What we're seeing is this huge proposed influx of these abstract projects that nobody knows anything about," Jon Gordon, a director at the *clean* #energy trade group, Advanced Energy United, whose members include clean power & large energy users like #DataCenters.

Now, the #power industry is struggling with a question that will determine the course of billions of dollars in investment: how to meet the demand?
…If utilities underestimate the demand, they risk an unstable electrical #grid with a higher chance of #blackouts for their customers. If they overbuild, #consumer rate-payers could end up with the tab.

I often see this kind of #electricity distribution board on YouTube being hand built in #India (often in utility/workshop area near incoming supply).
One thing I've always wondered is why the bayonet #lampholder is mounted there, surely the lamp will glare in the eyes of anyone trying to use it? Or is it just to test lamps so see if they are working?
Also why do very few people wire up protective #earth on these things when they are feeding 3 pin sockets?
Fossil fuels accounting for 49.2% of #electricity generated in the United States in March - the first time the figure has fallen below one-half. Spring is the very best time for #solar so this won't be repeated easily but it's still amazing. #renewables
