The energy suppliers in my area all have contracts I do not agree with. My gas & electric service may be cut in a couple weeks.

What’s my best move? I need enough electricity to power a mid-sized refrigerator (but could downgrade to a minifridge if needed), a few lights, router, laptop.

My boiler is gas but I have an old previously used mazut tank and furnice which I could possibly get working again with some effort.

Not sure what to do for cooking. Maybe use a portable electric cooktop.

    Solar with enough panels and storage can do a great deal. For cooking consider an induction cook top as they’re about double the efficiency of a traditional stove.

    Batteries are kinda pricey though. I guess it depends on your budget. Perhaps a generator for standby or night time / overcast power.
