Revision as of 16:27, 19 February 2017

Four offshore wind farms are in the Thames Estuary area: Kentish Flats, Gunfleet Sands, Thanet and London Array. The latter is the largest in the world as of April 2013.

This is a list of operational offshore wind farms within the national maritime boundaries of the United Kingdom. It is current up to February 2015. The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm; it is usually related to the name of the nearest town on shore.[1][2][3]
