Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
The register also records a planning permission expiry in Sep 2024, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.
DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)
From application to operation, this scheme took about 9 years.
The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3435, Operational): 11 turbines · 4.3 MW each · 150 m tip height · applicant Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE). Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

The application was determined in about 58 months. Construction to first power took about 23 months. The scheme has been operating for about 14 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
