How big is Camster?
Camster has a recorded installed capacity of 50 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 Camster?
REPD records the operator as E.ON UK. 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 Camster approved and built?
The application was submitted on 2005-01-05. Permission was granted on 2009-01-13, 48 months later. The site became operational on 2013-02-09, 49 months after consent.
