Dated milestones from the UK Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Q2 2026 — not estimates.
From application to operation, this scheme took about 2 years.
The register links a second scheme on this site (REPD ref 3837, Operational): 5 turbines · 2 MW each · applicant Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE). Two schemes on one site usually mean a repowering or an extension — to be confirmed with the operator.

The application was determined in about 4 months. A planning permission on this site expired in January 2000. The scheme has been operating for about 22 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 2.75 MW per turbine on average.
