Ripple Energy wind farm?

As you might recall, Kirk Hill will be delivering future member payments via the Ethex platform. I didn't have a pre-existing Ethex account, so a few weeks ago (possibly late August) I completed the Kirk Hill Ethex registration form.
Everything went quiet until last week, when I received an email from Ethex saying they were going to complete their know-your-customer checks. Those could take six weeks, and after that there would be another two week delay before KH could pay me anything.
So it seems things are happening, albeit slowly!
Unrelated to Ethex, I was looking at the KH dashboard earlier. I thought the annual totals were interesting.
Looking at what my 1280-watt share of the farm (0.068% of it!) made, and comparing to my energy import as reported in the Octopus app:
- 2025: 3650 kWh from Kirk Hill, vs. 3030 kWh imported.
- 2026 to date: 3130 kWh from KH, vs. 3300 kWh imported.
Considering we hadn't bought an EV when I joined KH, and so I had to guess how much electricity we'd be using, that's not a bad match.

Hats off to the developer/coder, it is excellent and keeps getting excellenter. I thought I was hallucinating, at first, when the tomorrow forecast appeared on the drop-down.
