Graig Fatha is banging out the watts as if its a winter storm. :mrgreen:

July has the joint equal lowest baseline month with May. Even with lower winds forecast later in the month, July is going to smash it's baseline and may be close to beating March's highest payout of all time. :twisted:

And it's still pumping out the kW's. GF has now more than doubled last years July total and this morning surpassed both May and June '22 outputs. In the next hour or two it will outdo this year's April figure also!
For those with a financial interest, then if it surpasses the March '23 figure it will be even more interesting. ;)

just had a look at my "account..." and thinking about my place on the KH waiting list. What does
If you are already at 120% and your consumption has not changed, you will not be able to join the waiting list. You can increase your consumption, but remember you will need to show consumption evidence if you purchase over 7,000kWh or your previously approved amount.
Is this saying they want to see evidence of increased consumption even if you don't get anywhere near 7000 kWhr pa? Maybe I'm not on it after all...

No,

I’m going to send a PM.

But if you increase your consumption amount on your account up to 7000 (maybe 6999 to be safe) then it will be accepted without the need to provide any further evidence.

Just had an email from Ripple
Graig Fatha’s June generation overtook May's with an outstanding 401,546kWh
but it doesn't say that this month's is already 20% more than June's!
