♻️ Project timeline

Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Project timeline Application submitted May 2002 Permission granted March 2003 Under construction May 2005 Operational April 2006

From application to operation, this scheme took about 4 years.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 10 months. Construction to first power took about 11 months. 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 3 MW per turbine on average.
