Not yet on the CRown Estate Live Asset Map so can't see how much it's generating directly - they haven't actually finished building the whole site yet eitehr

It was all over the news this morning and being trumpeted as a way out of the current price chaos - which it isn't until the market model is overhauled and made fit for purpose within the current generator mix.

I applauded the lady on there who said "of course we could build bigger faster and better on land but for the governments ill thought through planning rules" I paraphrase of course but you get the idea! :twisted:
