DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)
From application to operation, this scheme took about 10 years.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0. REPD ref 2543.
The application was determined in about 37 months. Construction to first power took about 39 months. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 11 years. That works out at 3.6 MW per turbine on average.
