Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
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.

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

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

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

GF.s back up, no generation lost.
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?

Panic over as the start of the 5 day windathon has started.
Shame KH cannot join in yet as its banging up there too.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
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...
