BRITAIN recorded a new wind output record earlier this month while Viking, as well as a number of other large wind farms, collected constraint payments for standing idle.

On Friday 5 December between 5.30pm and 6pm, a new record of 23,825 megawatts (MW) of wind capacity fed energy into the national grid, according to Robin Hawkes, Octopus Energy’s data visualisation engineer.

The previous record stood at 22,711 MW.
