X : How much do you pay in electricity per year?
Me : I don't. They pay me. I live in a largish 4 bed house, everything is electricity (lighting, cooking, heating etc) but the combination of batteries, solar array, off peak power and feed-in means my annual bill is very negative.

X : How negative?
Me : I make about £400-£500 a year. I'm going to get more solar panels, more batteries soon enough. I've got more insulation to add etc ... so I should be able to do better. I also need to cut down on my water consumption.
X : How much is that?
Me : Too much.

Me : Too much.
X : ?
Me : About 105 litres per person per day. It's way too much but I've been focused on electricity and the vegetable patch. I'll start putting more effort into water.
X : What's the average in the UK?
Me : That's insane. 142 litres per person per day.

X : What's the capital return like?
Me : I don't care. I'm not doing this to make money, I'm doing this to reduce harm though I could never payback the harm I've caused through all my flights etc during my life.

X : What provider?
Me : Two problems.
1) Feed in tariff was closed to new applications in 2019. This is a real pity, it's like the cutting of insulation grants. Not the best idea in the world to encourage others.
2) I have fixed priced electricity and only use "economy 7" power.

Currently my consumption costs about 8p / kWh and I put a lot of effort into self generation, efficiency and storage. In a couple of year, when that fixed price deal ends then I should have my second array up and running.
X : What should Gov do?
Me : A national building company making sustainable and affordable homes, huge grants for insulation / solar for council and homeowners on low income plus wealth taxes on fossil fuel industries. Stop arresting people from Insulate UK and give them medals.

Also, reform the CEGB (daft to leave planning to the market) and re-examine all those nuclear power plants that are currently going into defueling (prior to decommissioning).
