Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom (compiled from 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 Oct 2015, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 32 months. Construction to first power took about 15 months. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.65 MW per turbine on average.
