Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.

The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 4648, Operational): 16 turbines · 2.05 MW each · applicant RWE Npower Renewables/ Innogy. 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 January 2010 before the scheme progressed. That works out at 3 MW per turbine on average.
