How big is Bonnyrigg?
Bonnyrigg has a recorded installed capacity of 2.2 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 Bonnyrigg?
REPD records the operator as Natural Power. 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 Bonnyrigg approved and built?
The application was submitted on 10 February 2000. Permission was granted on 29 March 2000, 2 months later. The site became operational on 15 July 2001, 16 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.
