Enormmmm much power saved in 2022

Enormmmm much power saved in 2022

Luckily but otherwise we could never have paid for this.
Thank you many donors and Stichting DierenLot 🥰 who helped pay for the extra expensive energy costs and helped install more solar panels.
The numbers are:
Energy costs 2021 EUR 15.789,-
net consumption: 39.030 kWh
returned: 1.327 kWh
Gas: 2875 m3

costs energy 2022 EUR 22.994,-
net consumption: 18.792 kWh
returned: 5.409 kWh
Gas: 2210 m3


By making smart use of home automation, we use most of the energy directly ourselves. This immediately relieves the load on our electricity grid and results in immediate savings for the collection. In addition, the energy does not have to be generated externally and we save tons of CO2.

Next year we will start working to get the gas connection away. We have already been able to test more with electric heating this year and are going to expand this.
