There are obviously plusses and minuses of both options...

What do people who are in both think about going (voting) to use the two options, one on each? I have twice as much in KirkHill as in Derril Water, but wouldn't really mind which one had the CFD if we did try to coordinate our votes.

I don't understand much of this; I was too late for the first two wind farms, not interested in a solar farm and registered for the next wind project but only for the principal of generating some of my power remotely via a Co-Op.

I am otherwise not interested in just an investment, I prefer to spend it on the family and keep the IHT at bay.

Thanks to Nowty for the additional information & insight.

Finally, I will vote for a CFD @ Kirk Hill. KH represents one-third of my ( meagre ) Ripple capacity.

This will balance the risk/reward considerations - as Graig Fatha ( forever non-CFD ) is the other two-thirds.

Roll-up, roll-up : place your bets . . . . .
But the renewable capacity is built, running ( nearly for KH ) and 100% in the bag !! :xl:
4 kWp Solar PV : 50%/50% SE/SW : Solis Hybrid 3.6 : Pylontec 9.6 kWh
5 kW & 4kW Air-to-Air Mitsubishi Heat Pumps
GF + KH Coops : OctopusCollective : Triodos : Energy4All
No Car : bicycles : bus & train

Thanks for making a choice, unless there are more of our people doing the opposite I will go the same way so as not to vote against you. So for me (at this stage):
CFD for KH, Stay as we are for DW then.

(But there's over a week to go yet, so we'll see if we get a majority either on way here.)
