I'll be hoping for a new badge too.
There is a portfolio one for multiple wind farms but a new one for multiple renewable technology would be a valid addition. :mrgreen:

Yesterday was rainy and shockingly cold but the room we booked has an A2A HP and I whacked it up to 30 degrees when we returned and soon it was toasty, very toasty. Very surprising it works so well as the outdoor unit is in a very small enclosed courtyard.

Today the rain is holding off and we visited some underground caverns which were excavated 2500 years ago. They were used as WW2 bomb shelters and here are 3 bombs which managed to drop down the air vents but lucky failed to explode.

Well that was simple. 4,262kW of a Devon solar farm now in our RE portfolio. If they ever go to offshore wind I'll have to trade something out from my 120%. :D

They estimate DW at 9.75p per kWh and KH at 6.4p per kWh.

I am glad these are estimates only. I'll be blubbing if KH comes in at 6.4p. :lol: :twisted:

No badge yet so updated sig instead. :ugeek:

Great to see wind is picking up again at GF. :twisted:

That was a bit surreal, buying a share of a solar farm on a tour bus travelling up mount vesuvius.

It’s apparently overdue an eruption 🌋. :?

Well done, it all rolls out(email) today or tomorrow for reserves.If you reserved a spot you've got a week to buy in before it's open to all public.

But you bought today as you'd reserved so paperwork to follow. I note that they are saying 40 year lifespan. That will see me out and benefit the weans
