Is that where we are, best monthly financial return? Excellent! Roll on Jan 24!

I really liked reading that a generation ring had arrived onsite, just seems to bring it all that wee bit closer. :D

Yes indeed, thanks for qualification. :)

but that is only because of the happy accident that the current year's electricity purchase contract was agreed at a time of exceptionally high prices. This time next year even with another belting month (I reckon the CF has averaged 0.32 so far) we shall get a significantly lower return.

No worries 👍, had to check myself. Our last month of payment at the current rate will for Feb 24 paid March 24.

If Jan & Feb 23 power gen figures are anything to go by it will be an epic end to the year. :shock:

Where it goes after that? Who knows but Kirkhill will be kicking in then too with DW not too far after.

We have not quite beaten March's total on GF yet but barring a breakdown its nailed on so will very likely be the highest monthly payout ever and we still have the winter to come. :twisted:

And looking at the wind forecasts for the last 3 days of this month, we might even beat Feb's total in generation. :shock:

When I publish this months capacity factor graph it will be a shocker (in a good way), circa double the July baseline and treble July 22. :mrgreen:

How is your "near KH" wind / production figures looking these days, still comparable when you crunch the data?

I think you mean "near GF", the Ripple one is actually outperforming it quite often.

Thought you were running likely KH numbers based on nearby WT's too?

Yes there is one but I'm not going to monitor that until we have real KH generation data.

I already have the monthly baseline figures for KH from Ripple.
