United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Also, if you have an old style meter, if you get solar it ticks the meter backwards. With a smart meter you're basically required to sell it back into the system, which, at least here in Scotland, providers are only required to pay you a "non-zero rate"
I work at a utility company and shared this comment on our internal comms. This was a rather insightful response:
Edit: It turns out you no longer need a warrant to switch meters remotely anymore as Ofgem apparently changed the rules.
Well, TIL! Thanks for the bit of industry insight!
You haven’t been able to get a new solar install without a smart matter for many years, I don’t think.
