Viking Wind Farm is a 220 MW remote island wind project in Scotland that secured a Contract for Difference in Allocation Round 4. The site has 103 turbines rated at 3.5 MW each, with a tip height of 155 m. Its strike price is £46.39/MWh in 2012 prices; 4 of the 11 remote island wind contracts have a lower strike, and it is £1.74 above the technology average of £44.65. All 6 remote island wind contracts awarded in AR4 share this strike price, as allocation rounds clear at a single price per technology and delivery year. It is the 2nd largest of 11 remote island wind contracts by capacity. The plant is recorded as operational from 1 September 2024, but no CfD settlement has been published yet, so it may currently be selling its output at market prices rather than under the contract.
