What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 28 months. Construction to first power took about 10 months. The register records a refusal in November 2009 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in December 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 13 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
