The site would consist of two 2.5MW turbines with tower heights of 65m and rotor diameters of approximately 90m.
These dimensions will provide a maximum height to blade tip of 110m. This turbine type was chosen with due regard to local constraints and to match the wind climate of the area.
Once the turbines are in operation they will be monitored remotely with maintenance personnel making periodic visits. The turbines are expected to have an operational life of approximately 25 years. After this time they will be decommissioned in order to return the site to its previous state.
