we have no idea how much it is going to cost per watt yet though...

2.0 kW/4.62 MWhr pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWhr batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWhr pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Its going to be quite difficult to price because of the crazy fluctuations in steel / concrete, etc costs.
I guess they could hedge some of it or have a larger than normal contingency fund.
On the other hand it will be a larger economy of scale.
Over 4000 pre reserved now.
Roughly annual forecast of 3.2kWh per watt at WT2 compared with 2.7kWh per watt at WT1.
For reference, WT1 was approx £1.73 per watt.
My wet finger in the air guess is £2 per watt for WT2, but honestly I haven't a clue.

We also now have a photo of the actual site of WT2 posted by Ripple on Twitter !

I thought it was going to be a pair offshore?

I saw nothing, zero clues mentioning Ahab or water!?
Where did you get the idea that WT2 would be a salty seadog?

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
For WT2, my money is on Tacher A and B, just off the A9, extreme NE of Scotland, 20 miles SW of John o' Groats.
Next to an existing wind farm.
2 x 4.3MW turbines.
Both have planning permission and are being built by the same contractor as WT1.

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Wow Nowty, 2 x 4.3 MW's, how exciting that prospect is!
Unless of course you're just teasing us. In which case you've got me hook, line and sinker.
