How big is Inverlael Hydro?

Inverlael Hydro has a recorded installed capacity of 2.5 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 Inverlael Hydro?

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 Inverlael Hydro approved and built?

The application was submitted on 14 March 2005. Permission was granted on 4 July 2007, 28 months later. The site became operational on 5 August 2009, 25 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 426.
