From application to operation, this scheme took about 3 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 2691, Operational): 1 turbines · 2.3 MW each · applicant Boyndie Wind Farm. 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 13 months. Construction to first power took about 5 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 2.09 MW per turbine on average.
