How big is Garrogie Hydro Scheme?

Who operates Garrogie Hydro Scheme?
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.
When was Garrogie Hydro Scheme approved and built?
The application was submitted on 20 November 2001. Permission was granted on 1 June 2003, 18 months later. The site became operational on 1 March 2005, 21 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 435.
