What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 7 months. Construction to first power took about 15 months. A planning permission on this site expired in March 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 3 MW per turbine on average.
