Our Scheme passed an important landmark with Electrical Engineers from SSE and contractors completing all the regulatory tests and protection measures for the generating equipment and the network on Friday, with a G59 certificate signed off by both parties.
The scheme was powered down to allow final commissioning, concreting the pipeline Thrust block and other finishing work within the Turbine House.
With the certification we can process info with Ofgem to export power to the National Grid at the pre-accredited FiT secured 3 years ago.
All looking good with the system and main contractor, Highland Eco, now concentrating on completing finishing details in preparation for future handover to the community.
