Coincidentally the last days generation for us was 18.04 so just wonder if they wait for the official figure to come through for the last day before updating!
But, as AE said what a great return, in our case it will just about cover the months leccy bill. :mrgreen:
You are right - it exactly fits my situation . Maybe they copied a 30-day month into their payout cell on the spreadsheet? Do we need to ask them?

Nah, I'm just going to wait until the "Last update" is changed from 30/03/23 after which the monthly payout figure should also then be added to our Octopus account. I believe they've stated previously they are dependent upon the official figures arriving with them before payment can be confirmed.

Time for the monthly capacity factor graph for GF, we now have the first full year of whole month operation.

CF for March was 26.7%, way down on baseline but we did lose several very good days due to grid outage and breakdown(s).

Ignoring the first partial month, the full 12 months CF was 27.18% verses the baseline of 30.5%.

Just in from Ripple:

We're pleased to announce that as a Kirk Hill member, you can now join the waiting list for additional Kirk Hill shares.

The waiting list allows members to purchase available shares in the project. There is currently a small number of Kirk Hill shares available due to some members not making all their instalments. If you are currently under your 120% ownership limit, we invite you to come forward if you wish to increase your ownership in Kirk Hill.

The waiting list works on a first come, first served basis. You'll be added to the waiting list once you have completed the steps below. Shares will be offered to members in chronological order of when they joined the waiting list.

Step 1: Click the link below and log in to your Ripple dashboard

Step 2: Click on the "My portfolio" tab in the left hand menu

I just don't trust the competence of their operations to invest any more money.
(based on their lacklustre performance & approach to what has been encountered thus far, to simple problems & changes which is a shame),

No great confidence at this time. 👎

I think I joined the KH waiting list far too late. :evil:

Looks like I'll be "all in" on project 3 instead. :mrgreen:

For perspective, I am 100kWh from my predicted annual generation. Its 2.5 weeks late from the anniversary and what with the year 1 start up issues that's not bad.

It's the standard of operational management not turbine estimates & kWh returned just to be clear.
Have a suspicion that it will remain that way, their pace is set by silence & slow / no change, very poor.

A firm " to do list" so at least you can see something regardless of time is not simply forgotten.

For those that didn't max out their ripple turbine investment, are you more inclined to put into the upcoming solar farm or take more of the remaining Kirk Hill option that's just been released?

I have 80% of my allowance in Kirk Hill and was aiming to put the remaining 40% (up to the allowed 120%) in the solar park but having just received the email with the option to up my buy in of Kirk hill, I'm now debating whether to spread the investment or just max out on wind.
