The future of residential building electrical installations

Arran Cameron
This is a spin-off from the discussion What is the best way to wire ceiling lights.


What do you think is the future of residential building electrical installations in 20 to 30 years time? Will they in modern and modernised houses be significantly different from what they are today or will they most likely be barely changed from what they are today?


Will consumer demand be a driving force for change or will electricians only make changes from the status quo in order to comply with updated wiring regs?

    Maybe they need to reconsider that policy as it may not work in favour of those who cannot afford to improve their homes and invest in renewable energy equipment.  I can think of far more wealth people that would benefit than people in energy poverty. 

    They are pitching that policy at the better off in society. 

    Standing charges that provide nothing in return but a connection benefit no customers regardless of their financial status.


    Of course, being the Green Party, there is a big catch to the abolition of standing charges that's clearly evident if you study some of their other policies...
    If you want an on-demand electric supply you will have to subscribe to it by paying a standing charge. 

    Do you have some vested interest in the French system of tariffs?
