The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4116, Operational): 3 turbines · 2 MW each · applicant Airvolution Energy. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The register records a refusal in July 2007 before the scheme progressed. That works out at 2.3 MW per turbine on average.
