Probably, it looks pretty extreme out there.Image

Looking like finishing the month +10% on top of baseline for Dec. :mrgreen:
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 27MWh generated
6 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 520 m3

GF is caning KH tonight. :D
We are 3MWh grid bought this month. :shock: A lot of EV miles, a bit of Octoverse, plus,... absolutely no gas. Not possible without yon Welsh turbine. Might even be 2% into the VB too, only just. :lol: Kind of amazing 👏.

The Jetstream has been a little further south this month and GF has even beaten KH's capacity factor baseline by about 3%. If KH had been running I reckon it would have underperformed its baseline this month.

Thats one of the advantages of having both. :mrgreen:
