In planningUnder constructionIn operationRemaining life (projected)

Application submitted 03/1995, consent granted 10/1997, operational since 07/1999. 4 years from first application to first power. The indicative repowering window (around 2021) has already passed.

Application, consent, construction and commissioning dates are read from the Renewable Energy Planning Database, not estimated. Only the repowering horizon is a projection, based on a ~22-year lifetime, and it is the only hatched part of the chart.
