Co-op base is already down, they’ve been busy. It’s looking spectacular this morning :):)

Or was that there yesterday but I was actually doing some work?!

[Julesdude]

Is it definitely the co-op? I thought it was more to the right last time. Same area though.

Pretty sure that is base of Co-op, we used to walk past it from camping in Paines along the track they have just put down. 

Pointed tent next to that is where there was a lockup last time, but that tent looks a bit smaller than was used for that, and then the cabins are about where Festival Medical Services usually is.

Not a bad location for a house there either. 'who lives in a place like thiiiiiisssss.....' (Grossman)

Here comes the trackways for Arcadia.

Do you mean the tents going up on skyline to right of Pyramid?  if so then I think that is Pennard Hill Farm glamping going up, and too far over to be Worthy View.

Are these generators being dropped off?

Not certain, but they could be.

If they are, then they're very much at the smaller end of the range.

Could be but yeah like @incidentsaid look a bit small, they usually pile a load up around by the Pyramid so we shall see...

[dotdash79]

Looks like a couple of them are near the pyramid already. 
 

maybe they are doing small ones first then will swop them out for bigger units when the power is required.

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?

25MW, according to the supplier. Though I don't know much about electricity, so that number means nothing to me.

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

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

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?

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.
