1Energy predicted to be generated by the proposal has been calculated using an assumed capacity factor of 30 % (DTI Energy Trends UK regional capacity factors 1998-2004), and is based on an installed capacity of 20.7 MW. The energy capture predicted and hence derived homes equivalent or missions savings figures may change as site specific information is gathered. Equivalent homes supplied is based on an annual electricity consumption per home of 4700 kWh. This figure is supported by recent domestic electricity consumption data available from The Digest of UK Energy Statistics and household estimates and projections from the UK Statistics Authority.
