Wrc Moorings

[Smoggy]

Just stopped at wrc and asked about afternoon moorings, still free for a few beers stop and you can still use the showers for a small fee.

Ting dene don't appear to be completely evil.

£15 overnight, £25 with leccy, ok partly evil.

Are boatyards allowed to make a profit selling electricity now?  

I would think even at todays extortionate energy prices one boat would be hard pushed to use £10 of electricity in one night.

My guess is £10 is almost 30kw hrs worth!

We have just paid £10.00 for 40Kw upfront at our home mooring lecky point. 

I fully agree it seems someone is either cashing in, or is On a very poor tariff?

kind regards

I should have opted for the £20 card for double the amount of power and not been so tight 🤪.

Hi who are the Agency's for the On Shore Power now ? As to setting theses Electricity prices by pre payment meter card that should not cost that  much  as to Standard Key meter at Home. I believe?

Just like at home there are different suppliers for the owner to select one and sign a contract. As to a maximum price tariffs for moorers I dont know.

£10.00 overnight is taking the mick.Not surprised with WRC mind.

I'm going back 5 yrs but when I used a £1 card in the electric Post I always left the next morning with 40 pence on the post. That was charging the batteries, tv, toaster and other things. The Bridge Inn at Acle used to charge a fiver for electric, which i thought was enough. £10 is taking the mick. I won't be mooring there again.

They will tell you they are not charging for electricity just for connecting to the system!

Many places around the country are doing that, caravan sites etc.

It is a way round the not being able to charge more for the electricity.

it still falls under offgem- the same people who lifted the energy price cap and allowed the energy suppliers to run amok with their prices.
