Please go over everything you spend your power on and the government will tell you whether you can continue to have power/internet. Hey, why are you nervous? Oh looks like it was just a hot summer. ...oh what's this... sorry you don't have a heat pump, we will take your A/C, now spend 50k on a new heat pump one. Better get started it's going to be a hot one. edit: do not downvote your government energy auditor, it will not help your opened case.
