Updated capacity factor graph for GF for the final month of megabucks and to the end of the second year of operation. :mrgreen:

Feb generation was a nice 44.8% against a baseline of 41.0%. :xx:
It was the second highest CF ever, if not quite in total yield cos of the fewer days in Feb. :geek:

Just updated our chart from Ripples upticks which takes our return to 57.04%. Not surprisingly, I'm calling it a Heinz. :)
