It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.

DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

From application to operation, this scheme took about 3 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3765, Operational): 6 turbines · 2 MW each · applicant EDF/China General Nuclear Power Corporation. 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 6 months. The scheme has been operating for about 21 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 2 MW per turbine on average.
