This list also includes the most powerful onshore wind turbines, although they are relatively small compared to the largest offshore ones. As of June 2024, the most powerful wind turbine in operation is the world's first 18MW semi-direct drive offshore wind turbine, developed by Dongfang Electric Corporation. [1] In October 2024, Dongfang ...
It also lists the largest offshore wind farms currently under construction, the largest proposed offshore wind farms, and offshore wind farms with notability other than size. As of 2022, Hornsea 2 in the United Kingdom is the largest offshore wind farm in the world at 1,386 MW. [1]
The next largest wind turbines and competitors to the V164 are the Siemens Wind Power SWT-8.0-154 and Adwen AD 8-180 offshore turbines with a rated capacity of 8 MW, [16] and the prototypes of the French 12—14 MW GE Haliade and the 16 MW MingYang. [17] The Enercon E-126 turbine is rated up to 7.58 MW, but only installed onshore. [18] [7]

According to the British Wind Energy Association, electrical power for a city the size of Newcastle upon Tyne could be supplied by as few as 20 of the turbines. [13] Clipper Windpower Marine had started construction of a 4,000 square metres (43,000 sq ft) offshore wind turbine blade manufacturing facility in Neptune Estate, Tyne in 2010.
In 2010, the US Energy Information Agency said "offshore wind power is the most expensive energy generating technology being considered for large scale deployment". [5] The 2010 state of offshore wind power presented economic challenges significantly greater than onshore systems, with prices in the range of 2.5-3.0 million Euro/MW. [36]
