Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Today was an above average day for WT1 if the numbers are correct which they might not be yet as they said they would use forecasted data for a few days. For my share 21kWh per day would be the average and today it was 31kWh.
Tomorrow looks like an average day and Saturday should be an exceptional day and an easterly wind means its on the best side of the hill and the first turbine to get the wind so less downwind turbulence from the other seventy something of them around that area.

Wife on a day off, spoke to Octopus this morning due to error (unsure if our or their end) suffice to say wife mentioned that we had offset our future energy to some degree pending ripple build & activation (2023 being a galaxy far, far away) ..she had "heard of it but didn't know about it" ...which is a bit of a shame, you'd have thought Octopus itself would be its own promoters to assist their own folk within the industry, but apparently not
What the fudge!?

Its actually about 1/3 of a million because it includes the whole windfarm of £32.5m not just the ripple part.

Do you remember the farm cost for Graig,Fatha?
Edit £2.2m so £22,000 per percent compared to £320,000 per percent for Kirkhill.

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
After my last top up, I got the request from ripple for evidence of my usage yesterday so I did a screenshot from Octopus account of my actual usage for past 12 months and then added several reasons with estimates of increase for each reason. Like only includes 6 months of second EV, includes 2 months of gas boiler use which is now off, extra storage heater installed, etc.
I got a reply saying "great evidence".

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
About £4m but they only raised about £2m from us 907 members after about 6 months and some of that was right at the end when there was going to be a definite cut off.
So compared with that they have raised near on £7m in about a month.

Heard this back from Ripple,
'Hi Joe
Thanks for the feedback! We will be adding various data points to the dashboard over the coming days and weeks - we're really excited to be able to give you as much information as we can - but I've taken your feedback on board and will pass it over to our development team'
I requested a nacelle cam.we'll see what the next few months bring.
