The farm consists of thirty-two 3 megawatt (MW) wind turbines for a total capacity of 96 MW. The project produces 280,000 megawatt hours per year, enough power for 17,000 homes. The turbines used are Vestas V90-3MW model, which have a rotor diameter of 90 metres (295 ft) and sit atop an 80-metre (262 ft) tower.
There are plans to expand the wind farm by adding a further 18 turbines at an undetermined date in the future.
