Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in England (compiled from RenewableUK's UKWED and The Wind Power), read on 2026-09-19. This is a compiled list, not a primary record. It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.

The register also records a planning permission expiry in May 2019, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3613, Operational): 5 turbines · 1.3 MW each · applicant Windprospect. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

That works out at 1.3 MW per turbine on average.
