Who operates Meikle Carewe?

REPD records the operator as The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG). 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.

Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 4109.
