How big is Flotta?
Flotta has a recorded installed capacity of 1.8 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Flotta?
REPD records the operator as Scotwind (Scottish Renewables). Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.

The application was submitted on 2002-05-31. Permission was granted on 2002-09-01, 3 months later. The site became operational on 2010-06-01, 93 months after consent.
