How big is Silent Valley Landfill Scheme?

The application was submitted on 8 March 1994. Permission was granted on 14 April 1994, 1 months later. The site became operational on 11 March 2006, 143 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 601.
