I saw https://renewables-map.robinhawkes.com/ ... 64/-4.7398 and looked for "our " data... Not there! (Nor is GF)
Does this mean that our contribution to national output is not counted?

Kirkhill not advertising output?
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!

It is counted but is estimated, some info is available live and some is not.AE-NMidlands wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 9:17 am I saw https://renewables-map.robinhawkes.com/ ... 64/-4.7398 and looked for "our " data... Not there! (Nor is GF)

Gridwatch.Templar for example gives lower live UK wind output because it only counts live output, I think via a data feed from Elexon.
https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
Grid.Iamkate for example adds an estimate of the non live wind output.
https://grid.iamkate.com/
Gridwatch.Templar Is currently giving wind generation as 1.5GW and Grid.Iamkate is giving 2.11GW.
The wind records from NESO (ex national grid) also use estimates but they may have some additional info.
I use the website you mentioned https://renewables-map.robinhawkes.com to benchmark both GF and KH wind farms.
18.7kW PV > 110MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 32MWh generated
7 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 520 m3

Thanks for that, I suspect you have explained it before... I have no excuse for not knowing now!
Thanks again

Only generators connected to the transmission system (large thermal plants, offshore wind farms, and more recently large solar farms) are directly reported in grid generation figures. Generators connected to the distribution network (smaller onshore wind farms, most solar farms and other embedded generation) only appear in transmission system data indirectly as a reduction in grid demand.
As Nowty explained, some data sources adjust the wind/solar figures for this embedded generation using estimates. Hence the differences between say GridWatch Templar and iamkate.
