How big is Ystradffin Hydropower Project?

Ystradffin Hydropower Project has a recorded installed capacity of 1.8 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 Ystradffin Hydropower Project?

REPD records the operator as Hydro Electric Development. 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 Ystradffin Hydropower Project approved and built?

The application was submitted on 21 December 2016. Permission was granted on 29 November 2022, 71 months later. The site is recorded as under construction and has no operational date yet.

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 6366.
