From application to operation, this scheme took about 2 years.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0. REPD ref 2697.
The application was determined in about 10 months. Construction to first power took about 12 months. The register records a refusal in April 2013 before the scheme progressed. The scheme has been operating for about 16 years. That works out at 0.86 MW per turbine on average.
