Offshore Wind  · AR4  · Scotland

Moray West Offshore Wind Farm is a 294 MW offshore wind project in Scotland that secured a Contract for Difference in Allocation Round 4. The site has 60 turbines rated at 15 MW each, with a tip height of 230 m. REPD lists the operator as EDPR. Its strike price is £37.35/MWh in 2012 prices, the joint lowest of 35 offshore wind contracts, and it is £27.28 below the technology average of £64.63. All 5 offshore wind contracts awarded in AR4 share this strike price, as allocation rounds clear at a single price per technology and delivery year. The plant is recorded as operational from 1 April 2025, but no CfD settlement has been published yet, so it may currently be selling its output at market prices rather than under the contract.
