From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 3 months. Construction to first power took about 0 month. A planning permission on this site expired in September 2005. The scheme has been operating for about 20 years. At that age, wind farms commonly become candidates for repowering or life extension — nothing in the register confirms such a plan here. That works out at 1.3 MW per turbine on average.
