How big is Invervar Hydro?
Invervar Hydro has a recorded installed capacity of 1.2 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 Invervar Hydro?
REPD records the operator as Green Highland Renewables (on behalf of North Chesthill Estate). 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 Invervar Hydro approved and built?
The application was submitted on 14 February 2012. Permission was granted on 24 April 2012, 2 months later. The site became operational on 15 November 2015, 43 months after consent.
