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. [1] It is a demonstration project that consists of six turbines, all mounted on semi-submersible platforms. The first turbine, a Vestas V80-2 MW, was installed in 2018. This was joined by five larger V164-9.5 ...
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 ...

"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.
By 2023, the UK had over 11 thousand wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 30 gigawatts (GW): 16 GW onshore and 15 GW offshore, [5] the sixth largest capacity of any country. [6] Wind power is the largest source of renewable energy in the UK, but at under 5% still far less primary energy than oil or fossil gas.
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.

Scout Moor Wind Farm is the second largest onshore wind farm in England. The wind farm, which was built for Peel Wind Power Ltd, produces electricity from 26 Nordex N80 wind turbines. It has a total nameplate capacity of 65 MW of electricity, providing 154,000 MW·h per year; [1] enough to serve the average needs of 40,000 homes.
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]
