It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.

DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)

From application to operation, this scheme took about 3 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4384, Awaiting Construction): 4 turbines · 2.05 MW each · 122 m tip height · applicant Energiekontor UK. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 10 months. Construction to first power took about 6 months. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2011. The scheme has been operating for about 14 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
