How big is Maerdy?
Maerdy has a recorded installed capacity of 24 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 Maerdy?
REPD records the operator as Greencoat UK Wind. 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.
