List of offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For onshore wind farms, see list of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom.

This is a list of offshore wind farms within the national maritime boundaries of the United Kingdom.

In October 2023 the nameplate capacity of offshore wind farms in operation was approximately 14 GW, with a further 5 GW under construction. Contracts for difference for a further 12 GW have been awarded by the UK Government.

If all the proposed wind farms are developed, then in the 2030s the United Kingdom would have a nameplate capacity of 77GW.

Operational offshore wind farms

[edit]

In October 2023, there were offshore wind farms consisting of 2,695 turbines with a combined capacity of 14,703 megawatts. Strike price based on £/MWh at 2012 prices.
