The total offshore wind power capacity installed in the United Kingdom at the start of 2022 was 11.3 GW. By 2023, the United Kingdom had over 11,000 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 30 gigawatts (GW): 15 GW onshore and 15 GW offshore, [2] The UK has set a target to have 50GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.

Wind farms that have started onshore construction and have been awarded contracts under the UK Government's Contracts for Difference Round 4 (2022). Total capacity of 3,932 MW. Strike price based on £/MWh at 2012 prices. These projects re-bid some capacity in Round 6 (2024) with a higher strike price.
By 2023, the UK had over 11 thousand wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 30 gigawatts (GW): 16 GW onshore and 15 GW offshore, [5] the sixth largest capacity of any country. [6] Wind power is the largest source of renewable energy in the UK, but at under 5% still far less primary energy than oil or fossil gas.
It has an installed capacity of nearly 50 MW, and when commissioned in 2021 it was the world's largest wind farm with floating turbines. [1] It is a demonstration project that consists of six turbines, all mounted on semi-submersible platforms. The first turbine, a Vestas V80-2 MW, was installed in 2018. This was joined by five larger V164-9.5 ...
Turbines in harbour, waiting to be mounted; red helicopter platforms on top As seen from the Stena Line Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry in 2014. Greater Gabbard is a 504 MW wind farm, built on sandbanks 23 kilometres (14 mi) off the coast of Suffolk in England at a cost of £1.5 billion.
This is a list of some onshore wind farms (more than 1 turbine) in the UK. This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, primarily the UK Wind Energy Database from RenewableUK (formerly BWEA) [1] and The Wind Power's database. There are many operational wind farms missing from the list, such as Scotland's 522 MW Clyde Wind Farm ...
Ovenden Moor Wind Farm. This is a list of some onshore wind farms (more than 1 turbine) in England. This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, primarily the UK Wind Energy Database from RenewableUK (formerly BWEA), [1] and The Wind Power's database. The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when ...
The Round 1 projects were intended to act as testbeds; building the UK's understanding of offshore wind, whilst in total also providing well over 1000 MW of green generating capacity for the UK. All of the Round 1 offshore wind farms were limited to a maximum area of 10 km 2 (3.9 sq mi), and no more than 30 wind turbines.
