From application to operation, this scheme took about 10 years.

What the register tells us

The application was determined in about 45 months. Construction to first power took about 17 months. The register records a refusal in October 2008 before the scheme progressed. Permission was ultimately granted on appeal in April 2010. The scheme has been operating for about 10 years. That works out at 2 MW per turbine on average.
