How big is Blackcraig?

Who operates Blackcraig?
REPD records the operator as 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 30 September 2005. Permission was granted on 22 March 2011, 66 months later. The site became operational on 2 March 2018, 83 months after consent.

REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation.
