That's amazing Nowty, what a total, who of us would have thought it possible at the outset. Ok, apart from you! :lol: Congratulations.
Irrespective of capacity secured all of us who had faith or like me just gambled in Ripple are enjoying the returns. Long may they continue. :)

Nearer to 15,000 by my dodgy calculations. No :freezing: for you.

I was hoping to clear £200 for the first time, not quite there but not complaining!

I heard back from Ripple and it looks like I can simply up my consumption figure and provide the 'new normal' bill for approval.

This will allow me to get into the P4 solar farm a little and keep some in reserve for future WT projects. :D

Assuming it's not sold out behind the £25 velvet rope!

Well done Nowty! 8-)

I can guarantee P4 won't sell out behind the £25 velvet rope.

But I do wonder how P4 will go,

We know the approx numbers from previous projects.
GF - 900 members / £2m raised from members.
KH - 5600 members / £12m raised from members.
DW - 8800 members / 19m raised from members.
P4 - ???? members / ??m raised from members.

On here via the secret list,
GF - 12 members
KH - 27 members
DW - 14 members
P4 - ?? members

Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 22MWh generated
