What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 24 months. Construction to first power took about 14 months. The register records a refusal in September 2012 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in October 2013. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2.05 MW per turbine on average.
