Screening a site of your own?
Fenland approves 85% 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.

What this site sits on
The recorded coordinate falls on land surveyed as Grade 2 agricultural land.
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.
Fenland’s record on onshore wind
Fenland has decided 20 onshore wind schemes and approved 85%, taking a median of 12.8 months. See every onshore wind scheme decision in Fenland →

How big is Ranson Moor (phase 1)?
Ranson Moor (phase 1) has a recorded installed capacity of 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 Ranson Moor (phase 1)?
REPD records the operator as Fenpower Limited. 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 Ranson Moor (phase 1) approved and built?
The application was submitted on 31 July 2003. Permission was granted on 25 April 2005, 21 months later. The site became operational on 1 May 2007, 24 months after consent.
Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). 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 2952.
