DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

From application to operation, this scheme took about 2 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4321, Operational): 8 turbines · 2 MW each · applicant Coal Clough 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 8 months. The scheme has been operating for about 33 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.
