It is shown because two independent facts — turbine count and rated power — match the database exactly. Awaiting confirmation from a primary source.

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 7489, Awaiting Construction): 7 turbines · 137 m tip height · applicant Scottish Power Renewables. Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 8 months. The scheme has been operating for about 32 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 0.5 MW per turbine on average.
