Following planning consent in 2014, the unexpected and welcomed opportunity of the immediate availability of a wind turbine gave GreenPower a challenging construction schedule. This began on 6th October 2014 and was completed by 20th November 2014. The presence of unexploded ordnance was also a risk as the site was a former WWII airfield. GreenPower contracted 6 Alpha Associates to carry out an assessment of the site which was declared all clear. The turbine became operational on 15th December 2014.

Next to the operational wind turbine GreenPower have applied for planning consent of up to 1.5MWp of ground mounted solar PV. The planning application was submitted in January 2021 and planning consent is expected very shortly. The solar PV will utilise the existing grid connection used for the wind turbine.
