Offshore Wind Farm Capacity in the UK by Operational status, 2025

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

Contents

In April 2025 the nameplate capacity of offshore wind farms in operation was approximately 16 GW, with a further 10.4 GW under construction and 1.4GW in Pre-Construction. Contracts for difference for a further 1.4 GW have been awarded by the UK Government. A further 47.3 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 79 GW.

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 based on £/MWh at 2012 prices.
