How big is Badachro hydro scheme?

Who operates Badachro hydro scheme?

REPD records the operator as Badachro Hydro Limited. 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.

When was Badachro hydro scheme approved and built?

The application was submitted on 7 July 2014. Permission was granted on 30 September 2014, 3 months later. The site became operational on 21 December 2016, 27 months after consent.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 491.
