The unconfirmed scores on the door from yesterday’s GF yield look like a new PB at 97.59 %. With probably another upgrade once confirmed. :mrgreen:

That’s a nice Xmas present.

It is a PB even without the added lift from confirmed adjustment, 97.62%. 🎅 Merry Christmas! :D

Although we are under an hour from being into all time month PB on the estimate count we are in reality well into
a new PB, just unknowing of the precise figure. About 07.00hrs on the 27th is my rough guess.

Congratulations to all GF owners! 🍾 🥳

Looks like a great close to the year too. :oO:

I might just crack my first single MWh WT month :hysteria:

Not another record breaking day, but probably sufficient to make December a record breaking month and with four strong wind days ahead. :xx:

42.86% CF (estimate) @ 10.30hrs on 27th Dec. Old single month PB from Jan 23 was 42.65%. How far will it go by Hogmanay?

Been looking at Ripple a little for a few weeks now, adding some windgen into the mix for Resybaby towers to make up for the rubbish solar gen the last few weeks - cornish sunshine they call perpetual grey drizzle down here. Much the same most winters. Battery stack turned itself off @ 20% and 10kw of PV producing next to nothing.

Liking the co-op ownership structure, loving eco elements of the whole idea, not liking the illiquid nature of the investment and as a low power user, the cap (although understand not strictly enforced).

So taking all onboard, including the current availible offering and my limits on time, i've gone and plonked my investment in the same ship im familiar with, shares. Ive bought into Greencoat and will content myself with the 6% yield from an eco wind turbine source, improved liquidity but lose out on the co-op angle.

Road North closed at Dundee. We be booked into a Premier Inn at Montfeith so heading for beer. Spoke to a wee lassie at Costa, came down from North and said there was a crack in the road. EV charging and might try the Aviemore road via Perth tomorrow if A90 still shut. 🤔

Grateful we have the funds in place for this to be an unexpected adventure, not a nightmare.

Like these...

Ooops! Sorry to learn how severe the weather is there with you, especially with power off and roads closed. :facepalm:
If it's any consolation it would seem the generation meter figures are in those two high wind days and both were records at the time. The 22nd which returned the highest gaining an uptick taking it's CF to 99.128%.

You could try the coast road A92 it's not showing as closed meantime, it might be dodgy via Aviemore, snow gates are closed at Braemar.
