Screening a site of your own?
Aberdeenshire approves 69% of onshore wind schemes. Redline puts that number, and everything else the record holds, against 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 Muirake?
Muirake has a recorded installed capacity of 4.6 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 Muirake?
REPD records the operator as Vento Ludens. 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.
When was Muirake approved and built?
The application was submitted on 2 November 2009. Permission was granted on 8 September 2010, 10 months later. The site became operational on 13 December 2011, 15 months after consent.

REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 3594.
