What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 21 months. Construction to first power took about 16 months. The register records a refusal in September 2011 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in July 2012. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
