From application to operation, this scheme took about 5 years.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4485, Operational): 1 turbines · 2.5 MW each · applicant Pennant Walters (MAESX) Limited. 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 31 months. Construction to first power took about 9 months. A planning permission on this site expired in May 2012. The scheme has been operating for about 15 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
