List of offshore wind farms in the UK
The list of offshore wind farms in the UK contains the offshore wind farms in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the United Kingdom and offshore wind farms in the immediate coast.
The list is arranged by body of water. Within the individual categories, the wind farms are initially divided into operated, under construction and planned wind farms. The wind farms are then sorted alphabetically according to their (planned) completion date and then. Systems marked with a * are located in the immediate vicinity of the coast and are therefore also called near-shore systems.
