Just run a cable up to one of the pylons and take the power from there.

I know you're joking, but it's never occurred to me before - how much would it actually cost to build a substation running from one of the pylons?

You obviously wouldn't want to distribute it across site in the same way as the water network as some poor fucker would inevitably get electrocuted - but could it be feasible to wire up a controlled environment ie Interstage which has got to be the single biggest user?

ive just checked the cam ... not looked fr 24hrs or so ... that fence is making great progress .... like others i swear the coop has moved sides of the railway track

I have got a copy of that mega aerial shot from 2019, and the Co-op is in exactly the same place. Just can't post a pic of it here  because on my work laptop and blocked from uploading.

The costs are in the millions.

1mw would keep 2 average houses going for a year so whatever the maths is on 25mw

25 MW (MegaWatts) = 25,000,000 Watts.

Power (Watts) = Current x Voltage

25,000,000 = 104,166.66 Amps x 240 Volts. That equals about 8,012 domestic 13 Amp plugs.

 

you're welcome

This is all very nice.  Thanks for lifting the spirits.  I was starting to lose track of what is important which is those fields in Pilton

I've always wondered how much power is needed from generators to supply the whole festival - is that a random statistic that anyone here knows?

[Crazyfool01]

Yeah MWh hours lol

It has amused me that things have calmed down a bit on site in terms what we can see on the webcam, so now we are getting excited about a Co-op being built in a field

And crank the amps up to 11 , works for spinal tap 

[Julesdude]

Potentially looks like the same size co-op as last time too. I wonder if they provide provisions for sale onsite for workers. Although I guess Goose Hall is there for that.

[benc]

Obs visual evidence says no, but I swear the coop was to the left of the path. The early discovery that they sell ice was a festival highlight last outing

This is Spinal Tap was on BBC last Saturday - still available on iPlayer if anybody has never seen it (or wants to see it again).

Watched it again, seen it so many times. Stonehenge just cracks me up every time.

Will be really weird to see Jimmy McGill's brother in it.  He looked like a totally different person when he was younger.
