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 ...
The Kincardine floating offshore wind farm is located off the east coast of Scotland, about 15 km (9 mi) south-east of Aberdeen.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.
The world's first electricity generating wind turbine was a battery charging machine installed in July 1887 by Scottish academic James Blyth to light his holiday home in Marykirk, Scotland. [15] It was in 1951 that the first utility grid-connected wind turbine to operate in the United Kingdom was built by John Brown & Company in the Orkney Islands.
In December 2024 the nameplate capacity of offshore wind farms in operation was approximately 14 GW, with a further 8 GW under construction. Contracts for difference for a further 9 GW have been awarded by the UK Government. If all the proposed wind farms are developed, then in the 2030s the United Kingdom would have a nameplate capacity of 77GW.
The project was the UK's first offshore wind farm, following the Vindeby in 1991 and Tunø in 1995, as well as being the largest offshore turbines erected in the world at the time. [3] It helped pave the way for more than 2700 bigger offshore turbines installed in British waters since then. [4]
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 wind farm is expected to start construction in 2023, and operation at 2027 at the earliest [119] The project's capacity is unknown by Orsted due to the ever increasing size of available wind turbines to the project. Norfolk Vanguard: Mid 2020s: 1800: 90–180: Vattenfall: A development consent order was given for the project in June 2020. [120]
The wind farm received consent in 2014, [1] and received support under the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme at £57.50/MWh (2012 prices) in 2017. [2] The wind farm began exporting power in June 2021. [3] The final turbine was installed in September 2021. [4] Full power output was achieved in April 2022 [5] and was commissioned.
