Thank you for requesting additional shares in Kirk Hill. You are now part of the live wait list as and when additional shares become available.

We can confirm that the small number of available Kirk Hill shares have now been allocated to members at the top of this wait list. There remains over 1,300 members on the wait list. A total of 155,000 kWh have now been allocated to 81 members. We do not anticipate many more shares being available in the near future. You will remain on the waiting list but if you are looking to increase your ownership soon, you are now much better placed joining Project 3.

The reservation list for P3 closed today.

From 118 members on the secret list we have,
https://camelot-forum.co.uk/phpBB3/view ... 160#p31046

10 members for GF Wind Farm who own a collective annual generation of 40,839 kWh (average of 4084 kWh per member).

23 members for KH Wind Farm who own a collective annual generation of 143,091 kWh (average of 6221 kWh per member).

P3 Solar Farm (not Park :evil: ), how many members are we going to have ?, and how much annual generation ? :geek:

Interesting fact, all 10 GF members are also KH members ;) , does that mean all 23 KH members will be P3 members ?

My guess is we are going to have about 40 to 50 members of P3 but their average generation might be less than KH because those with GF and / or KH will have nearly used up their 120% consumption allowance.
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated
5 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage

40kWh Thermal storage

No, I am almost up to my 120% anyway and I have been out and away from my comms all day so I missed it (reminder email came at 9am!) I am/was hoping for a top-up in KH. Despite emailing them several months ago (at least) and being told I could go on the waiting list I have missed out.

I also missed out on extra KH and nearly at 120% so probably won't bother with tiny amount of P3.

I'll be buying 3kW VPV and so will each of our two children for their properties. Son already has 3kW of KH.

I particularly like the VPV idea for daughters Edinburgh apartment in a conservation zone. How simple a solution is that?

I can see a solution where we will shift funds between the three properties so nobody has to pay out of pocket to cover a seasonal bill.

Three different RE generation sites coving three properties, two of which are seeing different weather themselves. Quite the dynamic package. :D 8-)

Seems sensible, 4 separate regions generating for us? I don't think there would me much time in amongst all that potential where we wouldn't be covered.

I missed on the extra Kirk hill but will put my remaining 40% into the new solar farm, particularly as they've announced it's only 20 miles from me. It sounds like they'll be doing some great environmental work on the site as well from what's in the email I received this morning.

2 x Woodwarm stoves
7 acres of old coppice woodland

Well that's all good to read. Pyworthy is now added to my weather app location list. Will buy in tomorrow and max it out. A great excuse to return to Devon some year ;)

I'll be hoping for a new badge too. 8-)
