The register also records a planning permission expiry in Oct 2015, after commissioning: an administrative date with no effect on the operating wind farm, left off the axis.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4056, Operational): 2 turbines · 1 MW each · applicant Mackies. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

A planning permission on this site expired in October 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 21 years. At that age, wind farms commonly become candidates for repowering or life extension — nothing in the register confirms such a plan here. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
