Exceptional numbers this morning: wind met just over 97% of electricity demand between 12am and 6am, the highest ever proportion - by a fraction of a percent - for that time of the day.

Full report tomorrow, follow along in the meantime on our website:

@katiegibbs I'm upgrading the service to 200 amp first, so hopefully I'll have it installed by May.

From what I've read - people in Canada generally happy with performance so far
