From application to operation, this scheme took about 6 years.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 28 months. Construction to first power took about 9 months. The register records a refusal in December 2005 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in August 2007. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 0.8 MW per turbine on average.
