Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

Whatever it was it looks like GF is heading towards it's second highest daily output since install and raising the monthly CF from a very medocre 19.5% to a slightly less mediocre 22.5% while absolutely demolishing the previous best daily financial return into the bargain.

Was yesterday an all time generation PB on top of the obvious financial PB ?, I make it 95.4% yesterday on the provisional count.

I thought the previous best was around 94.7% on 12th Jan ?

Quite right Nowty. Apologies in under forecasting the outcome last night, but it could have gone either way then and I didn't want to tempt fate by suggesting the alternative. Blissfully happy to wake up this morning and find the record had gone rather than the other way around.
I'm certainly not going to make any forecast upon todays outcome.

I've checked all 7 weather models on windy.com and they all say no for later today.

Like February is renowned for rain, this year was the driest in 61 years and third driest since records began, then March also appeared to be defying the odds by being almost doldrum like up until 21st and CF was at a mere 19.6%. It was in danger of being relegated to mere summer like performance when we really needed a good month's generation to start GF's second year off. The last two days will have hoisted CF to around 25% which is an amazing turn around and great to see. The remaining days of March appear unlikely to improve it any further, but at least we know it's still able to pump out the electrons when a good blow is forthcoming. With the new rate negotiated for the coming year ahead then this March has made a greater return than any previously so a huge lift to the spirits and especially so given the shenanigans surrounding the hydraulics of last week.

Fell off the cliff but should bounce back a little around 11am Sunday

Absolutely AD, nicely concisely said. I look forward to seeing the fast spool up next time it rolls through.

About 116 kWh or £31 for me over the past two days.

That £31 translates into 310 kWh import on the cheapslot.

How am I going to use all that.

Bang on cue.

With generator meter readings updated on the website this morning confirmation is given to last Friday's output as a record with an additional lift to boot, taking CF for the day to 97%.
That will take some beating, although this coming Friday's forecast is showing some healthy windspeeds which, if arriving, would at least help give the months CF figure a lift on the final day.

I noticed one of my renewable investments Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has entered into its first Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with BT for a windfarm which is about double the size of Kirk Hill, unsubsidised and only 38 miles west of KH as the crow flies but 176 miles if you drive it.

Fixed price for 10 years although no info on the actual pricing which is a shame.

Its interesting because Kirk Hill will be making some sort of long term PPA for the unsold portion to fund the borrowing. I was presuming it would go to Octopus, but maybe not.

& isn't it a bitch that this far down the line with the unsold portion none of us have been able to add a few watts here & there? ...why not?
Hardly progressive turning away customers right, especially those who were hoping for more wind.

In terms of how ripple is perceived how is having unsold equity every time a project arises? debt sheet etc.

Well with the last Octopus session and the new rate at GF I might just climb back up to 33% in the VB before the next bill lands. Untold luxury!

All joking aside, this combination of varied personal RE investment has been astonishing in its outcome. It has been a good taster for the Tsunami that will be KH.
