What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 20 months. Construction to first power took about 34 months. The register records a refusal in April 2017 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2018. The scheme has been operating for about 2 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
