This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in Denmark (within the national maritime boundaries). Denmark's wind power generation is the highest in the world as a fraction of domestic consumption, reaching 47% in 2019. [1]

Contents

Data is primarily from the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database. [2] [3] Tariff data is supplied by the Danish Energy Agency. [4] The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm, and is usually related to a shoal or the name of the nearest town on shore. The "wind farm" part of the name is implied and hence omitted for ease of reading.
