How big is Walney�2?
Walney�2 has a recorded installed capacity of 183.6 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 Walney�2?
REPD records the operator as Orsted (formerly Dong 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.
