Surprised it's not called Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Energy Ltd...

But isn't this something lots of other generators have been fined for?
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
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!

Thanks for that link, it says
This is the fifth action that Ofgem has taken against electricity generation companies since the start of 2023 in relation to breaches of this licence condition. Other cases were:
Drax Pumped Storage Limited (£6.12 million paid into the Redress Fund)
SSE Generation Limited (£9.78 million paid into the Redress Fund)
EP SHB Limited (£23.63 million paid into the Redress Fund), and
Dorenell Windfarm Limited (£5.53 million paid into the Redress Fund)
so the biggest fine yet, by quite a margin.
