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 ...
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 ...
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.
Scout Moor Wind Farm is the second largest onshore wind farm in England. The wind farm, which was built for Peel Wind Power Ltd, produces electricity from 26 Nordex N80 wind turbines. It has a total nameplate capacity of 65 MW of electricity, providing 154,000 MW·h per year; [1] enough to serve the average needs of 40,000 homes.
The Dagenham wind turbines are two 85-metre (279 ft) high Enercon E-66 and one E-82 [1] wind turbines located on the Dagenham estate of the Ford Motor Company in East London, England. [2] The first two turbines were completed in April 2004 and the third was installed in 2011. [3] They are landmarks of the skyline and the first wind farm to be ...
Ovenden Moor Wind Farm is a wind powered electricity generating site in England. Ovenden Moor is located north of Halifax and west of Bradford in West Yorkshire.The site was opened in 1993 with 23 turbines, but these were later removed in favour of larger turbines but with 14 fewer towers.
Teesside Wind Farm, or alternatively referred to as Redcar Wind Farm, is a 27 turbine 62 MW capacity offshore wind farm constructed just to the east of the mouth of the River Tees and 1.5 km north of Redcar off the North Yorkshire coast, in the North Sea, England. Construction of the windfarm began in February 2011 and was complete by June 2013.
Barrow wind farm was a UK Round 1 wind farm development originally developed by Warwick Energy Limited. [1] A planning application was submitted in 2001, [2] and planning consent given in March 2003; [3] the project was sold to Centrica (25%, c.£22.5million), Ørsted A/S (then named DONG Energy) (37.5%), and Statkraft (37.5%) in Sep. 2003.
