Hi, WaterSpout.

You can obtain electric cards from Norfolk Marine in Wroxham.

Unfortunately the Broads Authority Information Centre in Wroxham doesn't open until Easter.

Not quite an ancient mariner ...... though some say he was at sea before Pontius was a pilate !

I wonder if they will retain the 5.5 units for £1 until March 2023 or if at the May 2022 review they will not be able to resist tinkering?

Don't be surprised if the cards are in short supply at the start of the season just in case!

It has been pointed out in another place that the cards transfer £ value not units ?

Could still be a rush on cards then as electricity will be considerably more expensive if the units/£ is not held until next March and you may need two or three per day instead of just one!

THe BnA site states...
" The electricity units in each £1 card for the period April 2022 to March 2023 is currently 5.5. This figure is reviewed each year (next review approx. May 2022) and reflects the current rate from our electrical supplier."

so what is  5.5 ?????

I pay about 0.33 per kw at home so a £1.00 would give ne about 3kw.
They should  be more honest or exact about what you get for your pound !!!

Still it IS  the BnA I guess.

I cruise on THE NORFOLK BROAD as I can not cruise on something that is NOT.
