✓ Independently confirmed on 2026-09-19 by Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom (secondary source, compiled from UKWED): 52 Bonus B2300 (2.3 MW), 2006 — the B2300 is the SWT-2.3-82 under its Bonus name.
Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
The register also records a planning permission expiry in Dec 2008, after construction had started: an administrative date with no effect on the wind farm, left off the axis.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3375, Application Withdrawn): 22 turbines · 4 MW each · 127 m tip height · applicant Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE).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 WhichWindTurbine database records 52 wind turbines in operation at this site, with a total capacity of about 119.6 MW (sources: REPD and OpenStreetMap).
Area: Strathclyde — South Ayrshire. The average position of the wind farm is 55.2401 N / 4.74037 W.
With the WhichWindTurbine web app: from an open viewpoint, point your phone at a turbine. The app combines your GPS position, compass and camera with its database to show the profile of the turbine you are looking at.
The commissioning year recorded in the database is 2006. Public data may differ slightly from the operator's official date.
Based on a typical lifetime of ~22 years for an onshore wind farm, the repowering window would be around 2028. Indicative projection only — no operator decision is implied.
Wind farm data: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero — Open Government Licence) for site attributes, and © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL) for turbine positions, as integrated in WhichWindTurbine. "Data not available" means the public sources do not record that attribute for this site.
