Our offshore wind farms

Where we operate

Walney Turbine from below

Our wind farms can be found off the coasts of Europe, the US, and the Asia-Pacific region. We’ve built more offshore wind farms than any other developer in the world – including the world’s first and the world’s largest. And our global footprint continues to grow. With 10.2 GW of offshore wind capacity installed,we have the largest operating offshore wind portfolio in the world outside China.
 
Find out more about each of our offshore wind projects below. You can also access our operational and meteorological offshore wind farm data. We offer this data to help research, education and development in green energy.
