October 2023
Grid connection communication works

Connection protection works

Early 2024
Energisation and final commissioning of turbines


However, I think I remember seeing something somewhere that said earlier than 2024 for commissioning, unless I was completely mistaken.
Ah, truly I remember the angst of GF delays! I got into looking well down the road and going OHMMMMM, no joke. Now we are down the road and it's 👍. Soon enough for all we KH'ers. 8-)

Ripple have said they cannot commission without the grid connection.

Everything else looks ok, all foundations done, all turbine components delivered and stored at the port in Ayr. Roadworks enroute to site done and dry run completed with simulated load. So, finish off site roads, crane standing areas, deliver to site and assemble.

Ok, would I be right in thinking that it was cited as april 2024 & now the timeline is reflecting that adjustment announcement? ..is that where i'm confused / confusing?

The timeline completion date has been early 24 for months? Although I could easily have missed a bit of news?

Luckily by that time of year that's all low level indoor.work as it will be blowing a hoolie there! :twisted:
