Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in England (compiled from RenewableUK's UKWED and The Wind Power), read on 2026-09-19. This is a compiled list, not a primary record. It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.
Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
DevelopmentConstructionOperationAhead (repowering horizon at 22 years)
From application to operation, this scheme took about 1 year.
The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 5798, Application Withdrawn): 5 turbines · 0.85 MW each · 76 m tip height · applicant Nissan. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

The application was determined in about 10 months. The scheme has been operating for about 21 years. At that age, wind farms commonly become candidates for repowering or life extension — nothing in the register confirms such a plan here. That works out at 0.67 MW per turbine on average.
