From application to operation, this scheme took about 9 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4395, Operational): 6 turbines · 3 MW each · applicant Infinergy. 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 37 months. Construction to first power took about 27 months. A planning permission on this site expired in December 2015. The scheme has been operating for about 12 years. That works out at 3 MW per turbine on average.
