Re: Ripple CFD vote.....
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.

Re: Ripple CFD vote.....
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.

Re: Ripple CFD vote.....
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 !!

Re: Ripple CFD vote.....
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):SporranMcDonald wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 1:52 pm Finally, I will vote for a CFD @ Kirk Hill. KH represents one-third of my ( meagre ) Ripple capacity.

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.)
