Hi Joe, the turbine wasn’t shut down, we just lost the connection with the server that displays the data. We posted an update on the dashboard before 9am this morning to alert everyone to the issue. We posted a further update this afternoon too.

The 500 hour service is still going on and the O+M crew have confirmed the turbine is still operational, it’s just we can’t see the data.

The turbine data feed is really transparent, but it also means that it’s open to glitches if the feed is lost. We want members to be able to see as much data as possible in real time but it’s important for members to understand there will occasionally be errors in what is shown.

Separately we are in discussions with the grid company about signals it has occasionally sent to switch off the turbine. We are monitoring the output and the data feed closely and are addressing all issues that arise.

I hope that reassures you.

Sarah

Anyone got any idea of when the get together at Graig Fatha is planned for, it was originally going to be Spring...ish but when I enquired yesterday the reply of "no date as yet planned other than sometime during the summer."
It's just our diary is filling up fast!
