The wind farm consists of 26 wind turbines with a total generating capacity of 57 MW.[1] It provides enough electricity for up to 33,000 homes and is estimated to avoid the emission of 150,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases each year.[2] A 27th wind turbine was destroyed by fire in February 2024.[3] A 60 MW 2-hour battery is being added.[4]
