The article seems to ignore the very real possibility that the foundations would be reused when an ageing turbine is replaced

That was my first thought too - most the article is about remediation of the site - cabling, foundations, etc. It seems sensible to me that you'd refresh an existing site rather than paying for a full remediation and then developing a new site elsewhere. (Saving both the remediation costs, and the initial development/infrastructure/groundworks/planning at a replacement site)
