Nant-y-Moch revisited

OK, let's revisit the Nant-y-Moch wind farm numbers but restrict ourselves to kWh as the unit of energy and days for the unit of time.

Total UK electricity consumption in 2009 worked out at 15.6 kWh per person per day.

SSE, the wind farm developers, are claiming average production of 837,000 kWh per day.

This is equivalent to 53,700 people's daily usage. Or about 75% of the population of Ceredigion.

[Note: one kWh is the energy consumed by a 1kW 2-bar fire running for one hour]
