What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 58 months. Construction to first power took about 25 months. The register records a refusal in May 2006 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 11 years. That works out at 2.49 MW per turbine on average.
