Thinking on the intermittent nature of your charging problem....
The Vesta V27 includes switchable power factor correction under computer control because the generator has two selectable windings depending on the power output..
See para 3.12 and 3.17 of
Some HH meters record kVAh as well as kWh and some energy suppliers charge for reactive or apparent power consumption and not just kWh.

Thinking more on the intermittent nature of the 'spikes' in half-hourly consumption, it would be very helpful to know:
a. the units and amounts ie: kW? kWh or kVAh?
b. how is the data from the HH meter returned - through the internet automatically?
c. does your electricity bill show a charge for kVAh and/or reactive kVArh. I am making a distinction here between kWh - actual power consumed and kVAh - apparent power which is higher and comprises of actual power plus reactive power which is not a net transfer of energy but rather a tooing and froing between the supply and certain types of load such as motors and generators.

Businesses with sites affected by P272 may need to understand how the move to half hourly settlement affects their capacity allowance.
