Under the circumstances, that all sounds eminently sensible.

In my own case, I was installing new circuits anyway, so it was a simple matter to install two of them (and the routing was close to the consumer unit and very straightforward). In the circumstances you've described, I would also do what you're proposing because you already know things are adequate.

That's a very fair point, but I was assuming that Penners was already powering his appliances using a domestic bio-methane fuel cell with geothermal energy coupled to a Seebeck generator as a backup. I could be wrong though.

I find it difficult to believe that you'd be wrong, FF, but I'll contact EDF and ask them. :wink:
