Hopefully they can bring late February forward.
Looks a tad windy next week, this week would have been better, but everything still looks on schedule !
Excellent eh, It has started to feel real for me now. SWMBO is well chuffed too. Looking forward to the pics! Anyone have an insight into date of purchase for WT2 share? I ask not to put the cart before the horse but looking to move money around and into position.

Edit- Jan 22 for WT2 buy in.

Received this morning;

Thanks for reserving your shares in our second wind farm. We're thrilled to have you as part of the Ripple community. You've joined over 2,500 people who have already reserved their shares in this second wind farm ahead of the public launch in early 2022.

We thought you'd like to know that the turbine for our first wind farm, Graig Fatha, will arrive on site and be erected next week! This is a huge milestone for the 907 Graig Fatha members. They are now just a few months away from receiving their own source of green electricity and seeing their bill savings.

You can follow this very special construction progress from your members' dashboard as well as across our social media channels as we bring you lots of exciting photos from the site.

Over the coming weeks we'll bring you exciting news on your own wind farm, our new supply partners joining us, and let you know when your early access to your wind farm begins. Watch this space!

All the best,
Team Ripple

Thinking of turbines this morning and came across this quote.

It is reckoned that an average onshore wind turbine rated at 2.5 – 3 megawatts can produce in excess of 6 million kWh every year.

Quite incredible. Also had a quick search for Vensys 2.5MW turbine. This showed up.

Ripples probability yield forecasts for WT1 in an average year are,

P50: 7,370 MWh (most likely)
P75: 6,681 MWh (conservative value and the official one used for the share offer)
P90: 6,063 MWh (practically guaranteed)

And the weather forecast has improved, much less wind for the important 3 day Mon to Wed construction slot. :mrgreen:

Then as the Welsh government has taken roughly a quarter stake, its get the Welsh Energy Minister to kick the ass of the DNO to get it connected sooner than late Feb.
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 26MWh generated
5 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 510 m3

It would be epic if pressure was brought to bear and a positive outcome for early output.. One of my pals Dad (70) was over for an EV test drive at my place which has turned into an EV purchase (Peugeot 208). He is having a smet2 fitted and is buying into WT2 too, and so it goes. :)

Its almost counter intuitive that we want 3 days of low wind generation to get our turbine up. ;)

Bet they wish they hadn’t chosen such a windy spot! :twisted:

I owed a mate a favour and he wouldn't accept any payment so sent him a £25 Ripple voucher which I'm told he has opened! So presumably another to add to the list. ;)

Nice one, hopefully your pal will pass on the idea to others.
