Something up at GF, either the comms is down or the turbine is down, last update showing 14:00.

Benchmarking windfarm next door is showing 40% to 50% output since 10:00 this morning.

Really needs to be in service for the next 5 days of windathon.Image

They had a similar issue last month which was comms, lets hope so as the benchmarking wind farm is at 60%+ and rising. :xx:

I'll bet 2 pints of beer that it's only a comms drop out, turbines still cranking. There is no :fan: yet.

Getting up for 24hrs since GF went offline and no update from Ripple, that's poor. :(

GF.s back up, no generation lost. :D

They didn't know until this morning? I'm not sure that a company who's sole operational asset is GF should be so casual in its monitoring? :whako:

Yeah... and roll on the day I get to the front of the queue for a few hundred extra kW up there too!
(Having bought the max permitted in GF I had to increase my "consumption" considerably to get into KH at all and then I realised that I should have gone for still more...

2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!
