One of the turbines at the Kentish Flats Wind Farm.

This page lists the top 25 offshore wind farms that are currently operational, rated by nameplate capacity. In the case of a tied bottom place in the table, the wind farm with the earliest commissioning date is used. It also lists the ten largest under construction (with the earliest forecasted completion date being used as a tie-breaker); the ten largest proposed that have attained at least some of the necessary formal consents (with extent of consents obtained being the tie-breaker); and other notable offshore wind farms.
