Results are in for GF June generation and the capacity factor was 22.3% which was almost equal to the June baseline of 22.7%.

I was hoping July was getting off to a good start before the latest outage, we always seem to have an outage just before a good blow. :evil:

Yes the O&M contract is with Vensys.

And I think they use Boston Renewables as the folks who turn up or at least they did.

EDIT - It was actually Boston Energy, but part of the same company.

Tailing off maybe on the wind and a slow spooling back up of the WT? Certainly a bit quiet on the old VB!
