This is a list of offshore wind farms within the national maritime boundaries of the United Kingdom.
In January 2026 the nameplate capacity of offshore wind farms in operation was approximately 16 GW, with a further 10.4 GW under construction and 1.4 GW in pre-construction. Contracts for difference for a further 9.8 GW have been awarded by the UK Government. A further 40.6 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 3.9 GW of proposed OWFs has been cancelled.
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 ã/MWh at 2012 prices.
These are offshore wind farms currently under construction (offshore), with a combined capacity in February 2026 of 10,392 MW. Strike price is based on ã/MWh at 2012 prices.
These are wind farms that have started onshore construction and have been awarded contracts under the UK Government's Contracts for Difference Round 4 (2022) and Round 7 (2026) for Vanguard. Total capacity of 4,470 MW. Strike price is based on ã/MWh at 2012 prices for Norfolk Boreas and ã/MWh at 2024 prices for Vanguard.
These is a wind farm proposed under the Round 4 (2022) CFD auction, with a capacity of 32 MW. Strike price is based on ã/MWh at 2012 prices.
These are wind farms proposed under the Round 6 (2024) CFD auction, with a combined capacity of 1,363 MW. Strike price is based on ã/MWh at 2012 prices.
Note: <small>this table does not include OWFs that were awarded contracts in AR4, and have now received a new contract as a result of permitted reduction in AR6.</small>
These are wind farms proposed under the Round 7 (2025/6) CFD auction, with a combined capacity of 5,347.5 MW. Strike price is based on ã/MWh at 2024 prices.
This wind farm was proposed under the UK Government's Contracts for Difference Round 3 (2019), which it decided to withdraw from. It will likely bid in AR6 with a changed specification from the original submission.
These are wind farms that are in an exploratory phase and have not yet secured a Contract for Difference at auction.
Total capacities: England: 10,060 MW - Scotland: 26,226 MW
In October 2022, there was one offshore wind farm that had been decommissioned, consisting of two turbines with a combined capacity of 4 MW.
If there is an entry in the Strike Price column, this indicates that they have previously been awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) and the project has been subsequently cancelled. Total capacity cancelled - 3.9 GW.
