So anyway lads (and lasses?) --- since the original thread has diverged
and meandered in very interesting ways from JimK's original question ...

Where does this fit in? [1]

According to this, EoN (who happen to be our gas/elec suppliers, and
I'm pretty pleased with them, touch wood) will do me the job for £99.
So does this mean: "Pay us £99, we'll give you some cheap electricity,
and we, and our partners, will take most of the proceeds." ???

Or to put it another way, "Lend us your roof, guv!"

[1] I had googled for this *before* seeing Jim's question, as a result
of the happy news that (surprise surprise) fuel bills are going up by
*20%* this year (10% just ain't enough any more). (put that in your
inflation basket and massage it, Mr Cameron)
