What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 12 months. Construction to first power took about 5 months. The register records a refusal in July 2012 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in May 2013. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.5 MW per turbine on average.
