Ripple Energy wind farm?

Guess who is now with Thrive Renewables?

And jolly good luck to him too, as I reckon he did a cracking job for Ripple while there.

It's good to see he's found a new employer!

Cheers QrizB, indeed. I wonder how others have faired too. Not that I'm familiar with to many but I do remember Pedro being very helpful to me on the chat line. But I do hope they all found something to soften the blow.

I’m also keen to find out.

The general meeting video is available here https://derrilwater.com/dashboard/. Skip the first half as its simply musac and an intro screen.

Disappointingly, the project is still not generating. The meeting didn't go into detail why but hopefully not long now.

Kirk Hill General Meeting beginning now, for anyone who's interested but has forgotten!

Cheers QrizB, I had, but caught the last hour and a quarter. My, what an accounting nightmare was left behind for them to overcome and how well they have managed to navigate their way through it all so far. 

What a great effort by those brave volunteers, I feel quite indebted to them and wish them every success in the coming weeks and months ahead. Great to see such overwhelming support for them as well. Heartwarming.

One of Octopus's developers (the Wasted Wind guy) also has a site which maps wind farm output.

Kirk Hill is here:

https://renewables-map.robinhawkes.com/#8/55.306/-4.74

Now, don't get too excited; the data comes from Elexon and Kirk Hill isn't currently reporting to them (not sure if it ever will, and don't want to add to the trustees' burden by asking). However it's just north of Hadyard Hill wind farm, so you might expect the relative output % to be similar.

As I type this, Hadyard Hill is at 55% of nominal output and Dersalloch to the east is at 51%, so its a fair guess that Kirk Hill is generating somewhere around the same %.

Edit to add:

Graig Fatha doesn't seem to appear on the map, although it's adjacent to Mynydd Portreff which is here:
https://renewables-map.robinhawkes.com/#9/51.5627/-3.4574

The only wind farm in South Wales with data plotted on the map is Pen y Cymoedd, which isn't that far from Graig Fatha and which is currently showing 86% output.
