How big is Trident Park?
Trident Park has a recorded installed capacity of 30 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 Trident Park?
REPD records the operator as Viridor. 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 Trident Park approved and built?
The application was submitted on 1 February 2010. Permission was granted on 29 June 2010, 5 months later. The site became operational on 10 March 2015, 56 months after consent.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). 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 922.
