From application to operation, this scheme took about 1 year.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3976, Operational): 10 turbines · 2 MW each · applicant Scottish Power Renewables. 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 11 months. The scheme has been operating for about 34 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 0.4 MW per turbine on average.
