Anyone know if the windmill is a success or a farce?
I remember hearing the college wanted the ESB to buy back the surplus energy it created and they wwere saying they`d make money by doing this. However i also remember it transpired that the ESB didnt want this extra energy and were under no contract obligation to buy it back and wernt.
