The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4437, Operational): 10 turbines · 2.5 MW each · applicant Minnygap (formerly RES). Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The register records a refusal in November 2007 before the scheme progressed. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
