Nope. They are trying to reduce power surges when an important sporting
event finishes. Low power kettles means the total power requirement
is spread over a longer period. But we have Dinorwig and one in Scotland
to do that, so it is a pointless directive. They don't drink tea in
Europe so it is equally pointless to them. Only the Germans have coffee
makers on the go all the time, but they have 8 new brown-coal fired
power stations to power those.

I'd like to know whether it was administrators or just
who came up with the idea to reduce kettle ratings.

It was me.

The EU is not an answer.

Wrong, as always.
