Source: Wikipedia, list of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom (compiled from 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.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 23 months. A planning permission on this site expired in October 2014. The scheme has been operating for about 18 years. That works out at 3 MW per turbine on average.
