How big is Newton Down?
Newton Down has a recorded installed capacity of 5 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 Newton Down?
REPD records the operator as Renewable Energy Partnerships Ltd. 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 2012-05-18. Permission was granted on 2013-05-24, 12 months later. The site became operational on 2016-09-29, 40 months after consent.
