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

30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh 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.

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.

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.
