Tilley Updates: August 2024

Here are the stats for August. The 314,325 kWh Tilley has generated since our last update could power a 100-watt lightbulb for nearly 359 years!

Generated in August

314,325 kWh

Most Productive Day

13th of August – 14,315 kWh

Windiest Day

21st August – 34.45mph

Tilley measured the biggest gust of wind as 64.65mph on the 21st of August.

Fun fact: if you drove from one end of the Kenovay road to the other at the max wind speed Tilley recorded, you could do so in 1 minute and 57 seconds!

She is still currently generating at 60% power. Enercon were due to make a final fix in September or October. Unfortunately it looks like that will push into next year.

In good news, a master maintenance visit is scheduled from the 3rd to the 6th of September (with maintenance taking place on the 4th and 5th).  

A dehumidifier and heater are to be installed during this visit – this should help minimise any issues with moisture ingress over winter.
