Screening a site of your own?
Redline runs the same record on your own boundary: the authority’s actual approval rate and decision times, every designation inside the red line, agricultural grade, 1 m LIDAR earthworks, how contested the grid is, and yield with a P90 — before you spend on a consultant.

How big is Moray East?
Moray East has a recorded installed capacity of 950 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 Moray East?
REPD records the operator as Diamond Green Limited, CTG & Ocean Winds. 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 28 August 2012. Permission was granted on 19 March 2014, 19 months later. The site became operational on 1 April 2022, 96 months after consent.
