Smart Metering Trial

It would help and be polite, if CC Ltd would give an indication as to the price per kWh they intend to charge.
Totally agree DD. When booking you know beforehand what the cost will be for pitch + occupants; whilst obviously you won't know the actual cost of metered electricity beforehand, the information regarding cost per kWh should be made available beforehand.
If I go into a shop and the price for an item I want isn't available on the shelf, I'd ask what the price is before committing to purchase. I'd never just buy anything without knowing the price beforehand.
The phrase: You will only pay for what you consume, the amount it costs will depend on your personal usage in the link from the OP is vague to say the least, as it states the very obvious, but doesn't answer the question of how much the cost per kWh is.
I hope the article will be updated ASAP with that information.

The CMC has installed dedicated EV charger on several sites, I emailed the CMC as to the cost per kWh, I eventually received a reply £9.00, apparently the is a sign of the EV charger outlining the cost per kWh plus a link to the CMC showing which sites provide EV chargers?
As there is no sign on the EV charger at Blacknowl our friend who were on site asked the wardens l how much the was EV charger per kWh, they had not been informed of a the cost?

What about businesses with around 1500 employees dd? Anyway that's bye the bye and whether I know anything or not is sort of irrespective.
Betting with yourself dd, there are places you can get help with gambling you know
.Did you get your paintwork sorted?

I also wonder why a mate with contacts with HMG would guide someone to the money supermarket website and a cut and paste? Does HMG use this site for advice?

This applies to both this thread and the metering thread so I'll post it in both.
We have had, if memory serves, no one posting on here that has been actually affected by this current trial and the proposed metering trial, and their experiences. All we have is posters discussing the possible issues, and some saying they won't use it in any event, but no one who is actually going to be affected posting?
There must be someone booked in now for when the trial starts?

Ah, you can’t beat a bit of speculation, Corners 🙄
It was just the same when the deposit scheme was announced.

On page 6 we have DK saying he might test out the system on one of the sites for a couple of nights. Some of us have had metered stays on other sites. I can't see anything wrong with contributions which raise points about the trials. Some reactions might be useful as feedback to CAMC.

Points about the trials is one thing, Brue, but you must have noticed how both threads are speculating when a wait and see approach would likely resolve the questions. Furthermore, both threads have taken on the appearance of being an excuse for having a go at camc. It’s rather repetitive I find.

Indeed it is fun and part of CT life TW, nothing wrong with it (did I say that?) and certainly do it myself, but my point is that some real life experiences of the current trial and the one starting soon would be interesting and good to see on CT. As I said I can't recall any?
No one has posted about the ANPR trial at all yet someone must have been there? and there must be people booked in and did book in before the metering trial was announced but yet again no one has posted how it will affect them? Have they been contacted? Are they going to cancel? Are they bothered?
'We' can and do speculate and discuss all we like but it doesn't sound as if the vast majority of us posting are going to be affected and it would be good if someone who is/will be posted?

A person who is negative to something/someone can only prove their intellect by having positive discourse too, simply attacking at every opportunity merely shows unfair Bias. . .Nothing more.

I agree, Corners. I’m waiting to hear first hand experience from site users. That should give us a better insight.

I’m surprised you haven’t noticed the over abundance of speculation.
Yes, I’m well aware of previous discussions and have taken part in many. Good ideas have sometimes been voiced and that’s one reason I say it’s good to see CAMC being forward thinking and trialling new systems.

More or less all the speculation could be removed by the CAMC simply stating what price per Kw hour they will be using. The fact that they can publish a long page of details about the trial without mentioning that is frankly odd.
Some may actually book without realising there is a trial. You have to move on to the second phase of booking, having input party size, vehicle, dates and ETA before it is even mentioned. Even then it is not in bold or anything to draw attention.

The point of the OP’s post was I think to inform CT users that a metering trial is to start at Wyatts Covert site with a link to further info which for me did not have the info I would want prior to booking a site metered in this way. According to FAQ’s the trial starts 17th May 2023 for 1yr
In order to make an informed decision I do prefer to know in advance whom I am signing up with for any online account as I guess there will be T & C’s to agree to and what the cost is to me for the ‘goods’.
In the OP’s link “Trusted Smart Meter Partner” is mentioned “ and I also read this in FAQ’s. “we will only charge you for the precise amount of electricity you use” which appeared to be referring to CAMC as the “we”.
So to me it is unclear as to whom the online account is with.
I shall check back here and Wyatt Covert reviews after 17 May to see if there is any further info from members – hopefully someone who stays on site will post about the Electricity cost as HO seem reluctant to tell us the price per kilowatt.

We’ve a booking for Wyatts Covert from May 31st - June 3rd. ( FA Cup final) and hopefully won’t need to cancel.
Booked a couple of weeks ago, haven’t had any communication from the Club yet regarding metering, but no problem with that.
But as we will probably be offsite for most of the days, returning to the ‘van in the evenings, we will probably take up the metering option if available.🙂⚽️🙂
