WT1 currently at 91% or 2.275 MW.

I can almost hear the swooshes from here, and that electrical buzzing sound with all the power going into the Octopus Virtual Battery. :twisted:

Let's hope the wind doesn't get so strong that it has to shut down to protect itself...

Last month's total return is now showing on my dashboard... and it's about a pound less than my spreadsheet total. I have adjusted the price by their reported return for the best day (167.63pence for 17.39 kWhr) and the error persists... This figure (9.63 p/kWhr) makes every other month's total correct to within 50p, my estimate always lower than their actual payment, so where did this month's cash go?
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi AE, following your post I've just checked our account and for sure there is a mismatch between the total of Sept daily figures 170 kWh's to that showing on our account, 159.4 and a difference of £1.79.
Reckon an email or message on the chat box wouldn't go amiss first thing in the morning. Happy to leave this task in your very capable hands. Thanks for posting.

For at least the previous two months, the initial figures released were understated but they were updated (upwards) a few hours later. As its weekend, maybe it will take till tomorrow for it to be corrected.

I generally find that the daily figures get increased very slightly within about 24 hours, but it's not usually enough to make a big difference to my month-end total. This time I have gone back through the "previous 30 days" record, done the slight upratings and my credited total of 110.2 kWhr is below the sum of the daily outputs (122.9)
I'll follow it up tomorrow.

I've just noticed there is a new badge, a portfolio one for being a multiple wind farm owner. :mrgreen:

But I'm still 4 referrals away from the 10 referrals badge. :evil:

WT1 Capacity Factor Time

Sept was a disappointing month but I suspect October may well make up the lost ground.
As our Solar PV is declining, our wind turbine is rising. :mrgreen:

The P75 annual value of 6,681MWh which the share offer was based on, gives a capacity factor of 30.5% of the which is almost smack on the graph below which I copied from an average UK wind resource study.

2022 Actual WT1 Capacity Factor
Mar 36.7 % (based on 16 days pro rata)
Apr 25.8 %
May 22.4 %
Jun 23.3 %
Jul 10.0 %
Aug 17.0 %
Sep 15.9 %
16.9kW PV > 107MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 22MWh generated
