It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 4 months. Construction to first power took about 17 months. A planning permission on this site expired in July 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 13 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
