List of onshore wind farms in the United Kingdom

Last updated

This is a list of some onshore wind farms (more than one turbine) in the UK. This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, primarily the UK Wind Energy Database from RenewableUK (formerly BWEA) [1] and The Wind Power's database. There are many operational wind farms missing from the list, such as Scotland's 522 MW Clyde Wind Farm and the 68 MW Keadby Wind Farm in North Lincolnshire, England's largest onshore wind farm. The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm and is usually related to the name of the physical location, e.g. hill, moor, fell, down etc. or the name of the agricultural farm for the smaller installations on property owned by farmers. The "wind farm" part is implied and hence removed for clarity in most cases. Listings here are restricted to wind farms with 12 turbines or more; for a more comprehensive list, please see the individual country articles.

  1. Due to a number of reasons the active number of turbines has decresed from 22 to 19. [2] There are also plans for a full scale repowering of the farm to replace the 0.3 MW turbines with modern 1 MW turbines increasing the farms output to 22 MW. [3]
  2. Coal Clough Wind Farm was repowered in April 2015 data in brackets is prior to the repowering.
