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 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.
"Cap." is the rated nameplate capacity of the wind farm "No." is the number of wind turbines "Model" is the model of wind turbine "Cost" is the total capital cost of the project up to commissioning. "Cap. Fac." is the average capacity factor, i.e. the average power generated by the windfarm, as a percentage of its nameplate capacity.
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]
The three 18-metre (59 ft) wind turbines (each blade is 9 metres (30 ft) long) at the top of the building are rated at 19 kW each and were anticipated to produce a combined 50MWh of electricity per year, [6] [7] enough to power 8% of the energy needs of the building, sufficient to supply the building's communal areas.
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]
