       RE: https://wandering.shop/@adapalmer/115996683272733529I'd wondered about this before - if you put turbines in the best spots first, when is it worth pulling them down again to put up better ones.After 30 years service, when you can get a 21x power upgrade, seems to be the answer here.

       Here's an example from the Scottish Borders.26 x 55m turbines from 1995 that generated 15.6 MW to be replaced by 14 x 200m turbines generating 80 MW. This site will also have a 20 MW battery to provide power when it isn't windy.https://www.scottishpowerrenewables.com/onshore-new/onshore-scotland/wind-scotland/windfarms-under-construction/hagshaw-hill-wind-farm-repowering
