This is a list of offshore wind farms within the national maritime boundaries of the United Kingdom. In October 2023 the nameplate capacity of offshore wind farms in operation was approximately 14 GW, with a further 5 GW under construction. Contracts for difference for a further 12 GW have been awarded by the UK Government.
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 power in North Carolina is found along the coastal areas in the east and mountain regions in the western part of the state. [1] The state has significant offshore wind resources. In 2015, small scale wind turbine projects were found throughout the state. In 2016, North Carolina 's first large scale wind project, and the first in the ...

In 2008, the largest onshore wind farm in England was completed on Scout Moor [79] and the repowering of the Slieve Rushen Wind Farm created the largest farm in Northern Ireland. [80] In 2009, the largest wind farm in the United Kingdom went live at Whitelee on Eaglesham Moor in Scotland. [81] This is a 539 MW wind farm consisting of 215 turbines.
This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in the North Sea.. This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, [1] [2] and primarily the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database and is current up to July 2015.
There are many operational wind farms missing from the list, such as Scotland's 522 MW Clyde Wind Farm and the 68 MW Keadby Wind Farm in North Lincolnshire, England's largest onshore wind farm. The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm and is usually related to the name of the physical location ...
Hornsea Wind Farm is a Round 3 wind farm which began construction in 2018. [1] Sited in the North Sea 120 km (75 miles) off the east coast of England, the eventual wind farm group is planned to have a total capacity of up to 6 gigawatt (GW). The development has been split into a number of subzones. The 1.2 GW Project 1 gained planning consent ...
