Tom Harrison, of the Five Percent blog, recently invited me to write a guest-post for his new employers, over at the Energy Circle. I decided to describe what I’ve learnt about my electricity consumption by reading my electricity meter once a week since the beginning of 2009. It turns out you can figure out quite a bit from that alone, follow the link if you want to find out what!
It’s rather appropriate I wrote about my weekly meter-readings. I started doing that after reading some of Tom’s own posts about electricity use. Tom makes frequent reference to using real-time meters to figure out where the money is going. I couldn’t find any smart meters for the French market at that time, so I went with my low-tech approach.
So, thank you Tom, for the inspiration in the first place, and also for the invite to write the post. I hope that despite changing jobs, you’ll still have time to keep your own blog going, it’s one of my favourites!
