[1]) submitted an application to develop a Round 1 offshore wind farm site. [2] The site, located on Burbo Flats in Liverpool bay (~7 km northwest of Wirral and ~6 km west of the Sefton coastline) was selected due to shallow water depths (0.5 to 8m at low tide), high wind speeds ~7 m/s (23 ft/s), and a generally favourable location including ...
A wind farm or wind park, or wind power plant, [1] is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area. Wind farms can be either onshore or offshore.
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. The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is ...

Block Island Wind Farm is the first commercial offshore wind farm in the United States, [5] located 3.8 mi (6.1 km) from Block Island, Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ocean. The five-turbine, 30 MW project was developed by Deepwater Wind, now known as Ørsted US Offshore Wind .
The first phase was called Dogger Bank Creyke Beck A and B. [10] The original plan called for two offshore wind farms each generating up to 1.2 GW of electricity, [13] with a total installed capacity of up to 2.4 GW. [10] They would connect to the existing Creyke Beck substation near Cottingham, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. [10]
The wind farm is composed of 4,930 [2] relatively small wind turbines of various types, making it at one time the largest wind farm in the world in terms of capacity. Altamont Pass is still one of the largest concentration of wind turbines in the world, with a capacity of 576 megawatts (MW), producing about 125 MW on average and 1.1 terawatt ...
