How big is Beinneun?
Beinneun has a recorded installed capacity of 85 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 Beinneun?
REPD records the operator as Octopus Investments/Blue Energy. 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.

The application was submitted on 2011-11-04. Permission was granted on 2012-11-04, 12 months later. The site became operational on 2017-02-16, 51 months after consent.
