How big is Castlecraig?

Castlecraig has a recorded installed capacity of 25 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 Castlecraig?

REPD records the operator as Renewable Energy Systems (RES). 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 Castlecraig approved and built?

The application was submitted on 15 December 2006. Permission was granted on 1 June 2011, 54 months later. The site became operational on 15 August 2018, 86 months after consent.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 4112.
