How big is Rhug Estate?

Who operates Rhug Estate?
REPD records the operator as Rhug Estate. 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 Rhug Estate approved and built?
The application was submitted on 17 October 2014. Permission was granted on 14 January 2015, 3 months later. The site became operational on 15 March 2016, 14 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. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 4738.
