How big is Achairn?
Achairn has a recorded installed capacity of 6.2 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Achairn?
REPD records the operator as Messrs James and Ronald Innes. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.
