Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

[Adokforme]

I just thought maybe I'd block book the nearest travel lodge & flog them to the highest bidders come the launch date

Better start another list then on which week members think most likely. I wouldn't have a clue. Not unusual I know.

It (turbines) will be cranking long before an official opening if we use wt1 as the guide-wire.

(However an awful lot of energy to visit, and all my relations are way further up north)

[Joeboy]

Time to have a look at travelodge & b&b listings about may then I guess.

You'll need a kagool, wellies, an ice scraper & sunscreen. May can be a tricky one.

If your visiting WT2 you wont need the sunscreen.

He said having visited Ayr age 3, my mum told me since never again.

I apparently watched my first James Bond film in a cinema, Live and let Die cos it was peeing with rain and blowing a gale just like it was everyday we were there.

Optimisn reigns supreme here although I will have a poncho too. 83kWh's to go for me. Looks like into new territory on the 19th?

I have computed (E&OE) that, as of end of yesterday, WT1 would have to achieve an average capacity of 44% until the end of March in order to achieve the P75 output for the year to 31 March. At 31 December, 49% was needed.

This compares with estimated P75 capacity factors of 37%, 41% and 41% for January, February and March respectively.

It is certainly achievable but by no means certain.

Well, that's Dec in the rear view mirror. Onwards and upwards!

...and October (by my calcs.) Only Nov left to beat now!

p.s. correction, I got paid 50 p more than my month's accumulator told me to expect. Should pass Oct today, then just Nov to beat.

I've only visited Scotland a handful of times but can only report that the weather on those occasions was extraordinarily kind. Ok, so mostly summer time and with the odd naff day but pleasant memories for sure all the same. In 2010, the year of the Iceland volcano plumes and with the week prior to us starting out was -5 degrees in Aberdeen we packed an extra duvet and heavy duty clothing. On arriving the sun was shining and it continued that way for the entire stay. In fact on the Sunday prior to leaving it reached 25 C while completing the Edinburgh Marathon. Thankfully some kind soles had garden sprinklers running for us to pass under!
Afraid we haven't been back since, so about time we did. Looking forward to it. Perhaps tie it in with a visit to Celtic Renewables in Grangemouth who we took an interest in when they were seeking funding a year or three back.

Apologies if I've missed anyone's guess?


MrGus 7pm 15th.
Fintray 23.00 17th.
AE-Nmidlands midday 18th.
Adokforme 6pm on 18th.
Nowty Midday 20th.
MrGus 7pm 22nd.
Bugtownboy 13.25 23rd.
Joeboy 10pm on 23rd.

Well, with generation now seriously declined several of us are now out of the running and looking at the list above reckon Joeboy must be favourite to take the winners Rostrum!

I'd have liked Gus to win on the 15th then we'd all have had a win! Just shows the vagaries.

Ach well, let's see Feb kick ass!

Unfortunately the 15th was theoretically impossible, hence why I hinted to Gus the second Sunday on the 22nd, but even that looks unlikely now with the drop off.

Jan is still looking above baseline for WT1 though, maybe even 10% above.

You can have wind or you can have sun but rarely both together, except some days March to May when we folk with both Home Solar and Ripple Windfarm will have a PB.

Spring in 2024 when WT2 should be operational is going to be mental.
