Just updated at 14.00, so not really live data but close enough I guess, returning 2377 kW's, 14 rpm and a more reasonable blade angle of 16.7 degrees.

Edit, subsequently updated 14.10, 2376 kWh's, 14rpm, 16.4 degrees. So possibly 10 minute intervals with a delay of 15 minutes or so.

Email in from Ripple, so if anyone who is eligible (existing DW members or folk who had previously registered for P4) and is sitting on the fence for buying in / more into P3 Derril Water Solar park there is now a hard deadline in a couple of days time.

"Just a quick email to let you know the Derril Water Solar Park share offer opportunity will close at noon on Friday 5th January."

Registering for P4 means you've paid a £25 down payment so if you haven't, your not registered for P4 and therefore not eligible.

Thats old news, it (DW) was re-opened on the 15th Dec for new members who (already) paid their £25 reservation fee for P4 or who are currently DW members.

For those people, the re-opening closes at noon on 5th Jan.

Folk on the waiting list will wait until they resurrect P4.

Whoops, forgot to publish the capacity graph for GF. :oops:

A whopping 53%+ compared with the baseline of 43% and a best month ever record. :mrgreen:

High pressure is likely to dominate January from the weekend so expect a little below baseline this month. :evil:

Dec is my peak power purchase month. I'd be OK with a little less GF in January. :ugeek:

GF's performance makes me wonder whether "they" (we) should be looking for another windfarm for No. 4. There might not be a shovel-ready one waiting to be bought, but perhaps some of the money raised through Seedrs could be "lent" to a developer to encourage them (i.e. to under-write) the preliminary work which is not in Ripple's skill-set. If enough money was not forthcoming for no 4 as a solar farm it would do no harm to have a delay while no 3 is completed, KH proves its worth and then re-launch #4 as a repeat of KH.
No?

As there are near 400 of us now hopefully we'll catch sight of one if it ever shows up. TBH, I am rather surprised at the rarity of wind turbine direct.investment opportunities. Not that long ago we thought offshore wind turbines would be available to us? Just goes to show. :surrender:
