Crystal Rig 1a: An extension completed in May 2007 adding a further 5 similar turbines to increase the maximum to 62.5 MW.Crystal Rig 2 & 2a: Both completed in September 2010 they consist of 60 Siemens SWT-2.3 turbines in total capable of producing 138 MW.The whole site therefore has 85 turbines and a nameplate capacity of 200.5 MW.Crystal Rig 1 and 1a are connected to the National Grid at the Dunbar substation 10 km to the north. A dedicated substation has been built on site for the connection of Crystal Rig 2 and 2a.A third phase has also been assessed for potential development. This would extend the farm to the north of Crystal Rig 2a. It could consist of between 9 and 18 turbines and make use of the spare capacity in the grid connection.. }
