Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the generation of electricity through wind farms in bodies of water, usually at sea. There are higher wind speeds offshore than on land, so offshore farms generate more electricity per amount of capacity installed. [ 1 ]
First full-scale, deep-water floating wind farm, at 30 MW capacity [204] Hywind Tampen Norway 2022 Currently the largest deep-water floating wind farm with 88 MW capacity. Built specifically to power offshore oil and gas platforms. [205]
The following table lists offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States, [31] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area lease has been secured [32] [33] and have gained at least some ...
A large offshore wind farm is being proposed in the waters off New York as federal agencies are pressing ahead with reviews of seven other ocean sites. ... Community Offshore Wind submitted plans ...
Offshore wind projects are under development in wind-rich areas of the East Coast, Great Lakes, and Pacific coast. The first offshore wind farm, Block Island Wind Farm, began operation in 2016. [2] The first commercial-scale (greater than 100 MW) offshore plant, the South Fork Wind Farm off Rhode Island, was fully commissioned on March 14, 2024 ...
The Revolution Wind project is another step toward the Biden administration's goal of developing 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030, said U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.
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.

The future of energy in America may be blowing in the wind. Wind power currently provides only about 10% of the country's electricity, mostly from the 70,000 land-based turbines in the U.S.
