The project which enabled the UK to cross the 15GW threshold is EDF Renewables UK's West Benhar onshore wind farm in North Lanarkshire, with a capacity of 30.1 megawatts (MW), consisting of seven turbines. It brings the UK's onshore wind capacity to 15.002GW across 2,631 projects. This represents significant progress since the UK's first commercial wind farm, Delabole in Cornwall, opened in 1991 with a capacity of just 4MW.
