Who operates Nevis Range?
REPD records the operator as Nevis Range Development Company. 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.

The application was submitted on 13 August 2014. Permission was granted on 16 December 2014, 4 months later. The site became operational on 16 March 2017, 27 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.
