If I’d got the anagram at 18a , might have been different but no matter how I jumbled the letters up I couldn’t see it and didn’t have enough (ok only had 1) crossing letter.
13d An amp is not a measure of power . Amperes and watts are not the same. Is this an error or is ok in crosswordland?

I found this easier than any I can remember. I put in wiggle though I did not understand the wordplay until you explained it.

Slight quibble about the definition of “amp” in 13d. I guess it is a measure of power in the colloquial sense of power as electricity. Saying “current’ would have pehaps mad the clue to obvious, but it was pretty easy anyway.

Also not sure about “supply” being used as anagrind in 5d.
