List of offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom

+Offshore Windfarm capacity in GW This is a list of offshore wind farms within the national maritime boundaries of the United Kingdom.

In July 2026 the nameplate capacity of offshore wind farms in operation was approximately 16.6 GW, with a further 10.4 GW under construction and 5.4 GW in pre-construction. Contracts for difference for a further 6.7 GW have been awarded by the UK Government. A further 36.8 GW are in early planning stages.

If all proposed wind farms are developed, by the 2030s, the United Kingdom's nameplate capacity is expected to reach approximately 76 GW.

A total of 5.9 GW of proposed OWFs has been cancelled.

__TOC__

Operational offshore wind farms In July 2025, there were offshore wind farms consisting of 2,809 turbines with a combined capacity of 16,035 megawatts. Strike price is the fixed rate offered under the Contracts for Difference subsidy scheme, based on £/MWh at 2012 prices. Older projects were under the Renewables Obligation schemes, and did not get a set price.
