How big is Black Rock?
Black Rock has a recorded installed capacity of 3.5 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 Black Rock?
REPD records the operator as RWE npower. 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 2006-12-20. Permission was granted on 2008-12-04, 23 months later. The site became operational on 2012-06-01, 42 months after consent.
