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.
Is this disagreement about price? Judging by the other comments all the off grid alternatives will be significantly more expensive, noisy, maintenance-intensive and polluting.
It’s about payment (not price). They all refuse cash and the contract requires agreement to pay using a bank. Being unbanked (and refused by banks) makes it impossible to comply with an energy contract. That’s the abstract simple overview. It’s a big mess of systemic problems. I think I can pay cash for mazut though, once I get the mazut system running again.
