PME or not PME?

Grumpy
My new abode is currently TT with a reported Ze of 190 ohms. It's sitting on granite and the prospect of driving in multiple rods is not particularly appealing (which, presumably, is why we haven't been able to locate from the previous owner). I've contacted WPD and they confirm that PME is available. Is there any reason why I would not accept it? (Apart from the fact that WPD want to charge £163.03 whereas my previous DNO did it for free!) We're very rural and the supply is overheads with a pole mounted tx in the garden.

    In the fullness of time, many installations could well have battery storage, and the ability to switch to a mode working off-grid for short periods.


    If that's the case, a consumer earth electrode is needed anyway ... so not having an electrode now might just be putting off the inevitable.
