List of offshore wind farms

List of offshore wind farms
This article is about offshore wind farms. For onshore wind farms, see List of onshore wind farms. For more complete lists, see Lists of offshore wind farms by country.
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.
Also listed are the ten largest offshore wind farms which are currently under construction, the ten largest proposed, and offshore wind farms with notability other than size.

As of January 2011, the Thanet Offshore Wind Project in United Kingdom is the largest offshore wind farm in the world at 300 MW, followed by Horns Rev II (209 MW) in Denmark. The London Array (630 MW) is the largest project under construction. These projects will be dwarfed by subsequent wind farms that are in the pipeline, including Dogger Bank at 9,000 MW, Norfolk Bank (7,200 MW), and Irish Sea (4,200 MW).
