How big is River Pattack?

Who operates River Pattack?
REPD records the operator as Gilkes Energy. 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 River Pattack approved and built?
The application was submitted on 13 October 2015. Permission was granted on 19 November 2015, 1 months later. The site became operational on 7 December 2017, 25 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.
