♻️ Project timeline

Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3002, Operational): 4 turbines · 2.5 MW each · applicant Npower Renewables. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The register records a refusal in October 2004 before the scheme progressed. That works out at 1.3 MW per turbine on average.
