This is a list of offshore wind farms within the national maritime boundaries of the United Kingdom. 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.
The Inch Cape windfarm is to the north of the Neart Na Gaoithe Wind Farm and south-west of the Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm. [4] When complete, the windfarm will have 72 Vestas V236-15.0MW turbines, up to 274 m (900 ft) high. It will also feature a 66/220 kV offshore substation.
