How much power is this project expected to produce?


"Under our plans, the scheme will generate enough electricity to
power 600 homes ..."

I hate that measure as it can be twisted by the spin doctors.
Generally a "household" is taken to be around 1kW, so this plant is
probably 400 to 600kW.

Must admit the link above is sadly lacking in any real information
and the number of paper shuffling office wallas in the team list is
not a good sign.
