PS - For GF members the tax statements for last tax year are in your dashboard under documents.

Thanks for the alert, I looked a couple of days ago (when I was last able to get in) and it wan't there then.
Time to try again...

p.s. I now see it, disguised as a "Trading statement!"

Anyone know who is building DW now? A top tier UK company is expensive, my guess is the Spanish are brought in

Coming back to wind, then up at GF, June has got off to a reasonable start to top up the VB with. Although judging by the forecast then for the following fortnight PV will come into it's own. How thoroughly convenient.

That's the cash in the Octopus account. Very nice to see incremental gains on the VB SOC. Not paid in towards a power bill since Oct 22! Whole of tax year 22 was 6×£10 payments. Now down to about 0.5kWh per day from grid.
Absolutely Surreal.

The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that the annual saving per the trading statement is for monthly savings from March 2022 to February 2023. The savings for March 2023 credited to my Octopus account on 3 April (IE before 5 April) have not been included.

Ripple have advised me that they/the Coop don't actually settle with Octopus until around the 10th of each month and thus they record the payment on that date for tax purposes.
Fair enough, but a bit of transparency would help.

It won’t be RES building it, managed at most but not built by.

How hopeful for a November completion & grid activation now?

KH? You got info?

[Mr Gus]

Timeline (which I moaned for ages that it was lacking, which eventually got updated with more anticipated project milestones)...

October 2023
Grid connection communication works

December 2023
Connection protection works

Early 2024
Energisation and final commissioning of turbines


However, I think I remember seeing something somewhere that said earlier than 2024 for commissioning, unless I was completely mistaken.
