Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Looking at the forecast it will pick up tomorrow about midday. Not particularly strong winds at site today?

@AE-NMidlands, unfortunately the strong wind today is a little too west of the WT1 location and Cardiff Airport wind location gives a better indication than Mumbles Head. Sometimes if you average the two its about right.

I saw Pembrey and Mumbles both looking good, it didn't occur to me that the wind would decrease that fast at the side of the blast!

It has surprised me too, but after 6 months of watching the generation verses the various live wind readings around the area, it does not surprise me anymore.AE-NMidlands wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 2:33 pmI saw Pembrey and Mumbles both looking good, it didn't occur to me that the wind would decrease that fast at the side of the blast!

WT2 will be much better, nearer the coast and more importantly on the west coast and further north in the country.

EDIT - WT1 is now over 50% of output.

Re: Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Anyone know what WT3 is likely to be - does it mention something about wind or solar?
I like the idea of signing up, but currently So Energy are listed as a possible choice of supplier, but not confirmed. We seem to be rather limited in our choice of suppliers up here, wouldn't want to sign up and then not be able to take advantage
