Who operates Ness Energy Project?

When was Ness Energy Project approved and built?
The application was submitted on 8 March 2016. Permission was granted on 11 October 2016, 7 months later. The site became operational on 18 December 2023, 86 months after consent.

REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation.
