As far as I am aware only 4 have been mechanically and electrically commissioned so far which is why there have only been 4 turning so far. The rest will come online over the next few months as they are commissioned.
I agree they are not very nice to look at, as for waste of money I think we will have to wait 25 years until they are decommissioned before we will know if they were a waste of money. They are quoting that they could supply 52% of Hyndburns electricity but again only time will tell how accurate that is.
