Hard as it may be to believe, since April SSE's #windfarms have been under-performning by around a fifth in the #energy fed into the national grid.

The claim is that 'adverse weather conditions' reduced their ability to generate #windpower... by which I assume they mean not windy enough?

Of course, we cannot know how realistic or otherwise their projections were (they may have been hyped for #investment purposes?), but as a #cyclist in the NW, let me tell you its been windy enough here! 

 @43d7c4ea I follow @07dea5c5, and its daily figures for wind generation don't seem to be particularly low. 

 @43d7c4ea It may be hard to believe but from the industry information I have, this year has been a bit rubbish for wind until the past couple of months. I can't share the information because it's for a specific windfarm and subject to confidentiality but it's consistent with what SSE are saying.
