How big is Mark Hill?

Who operates Mark Hill?

REPD records the operator as Force 9 Energy. 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 Mark Hill approved and built?

The application was submitted on 19 August 2005. Permission was granted on 1 June 2008, 33 months later. The site became operational on 1 June 2011, 36 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 3260.
