♻️ Project timeline

Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Original scheme Application submitted January 2001 Under construction January 2003 Operational July 2003 Later scheme Application submitted January 2005 Permission granted October 2006 Under construction January 2007 Operational July 2007

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

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4679, Operational): 4 turbines · 1.3 MW each · applicant Renewable Energy Systems (RES). Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

Construction to first power took about 6 months. The scheme has been operating for about 23 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 1.3 MW per turbine on average.
