What load factor means

A wind farm's load factor is its average output divided by its capacity. A 400 MW farm that averaged 160 MW over the week has a load factor of 40%. No wind farm runs flat out for long: the wind drops, turbines are taken out for servicing, and the farm's own limits on the grid connection can cap it. Offshore farms usually run at a higher load factor than onshore ones, because the wind at sea is stronger and steadier. Over a single week the figure swings a lot with the weather, which is why the 30-day table is the fairer comparison.

Where the figures come from

Every half hour GridMonkey records each farm's physical notification from Elexon: the output it has told the grid it will run at, the same figure the wind farm pages show live. It is the farm's own plan for the half hour, not metered output, so it doesn't show the grid asking a farm to turn down at short notice; on very windy days, when that happens most, a farm's real output can be lower. The average is over the half hours recorded in the period. The tables fill in from the day GridMonkey started counting each farm's daily output: the 7-day table within a week, the 30-day table within a month. A farm added to the list later is averaged over the half hours since it was added, and ranked once GridMonkey has recorded it for half the period. Capacity is each farm's registered generating capacity, from Elexon's register.

The list covers the wind farms that have their own balancing mechanism units, 163 of them. Hundreds of smaller farms trade through suppliers' combined units and are not listed one by one. For how clean Britain's electricity has been each month, see the monthly grid reports.
