From application to operation, this scheme took about 6 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3619, Operational): 7 turbines · 3.4 MW each · 136 m tip height · applicant Octopus Investments/Blue 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 application was determined in about 12 months. Construction to first power took about 19 months. The scheme has been operating for about 9 years. That works out at 3.4 MW per turbine on average.
