Again, the claim on the website is "has the potential to power over 91,000 homes". "up to", "has the potential", etc. But let's do some quick back of the envelope maths. 91,000 homes would be about 91,000

You skipped the critical "up to" part when re-quoting this in your previous message. The capacity factor is what determines how close the average is to that theoretical maximum. With 10.8%, the answer is "not close at all&quo

Because the European grid usually has less demand, more supply in summer and more demand, less supply in winter. This leads to EDF scheduling most maintenance and refueling for nuclear power plants in summer. This year was particularly bad

In this specific case (regulations on the cooling water temperature) it's killing some fishes vs killing some birds. That seems very comparable to me. Why wouldn't we require wind turbines to stop when birds are migrating to reduc
