This article lists the largest offshore wind farms that are currently operational rated by nameplate capacity. It also lists the largest offshore wind farms currently under construction, the largest proposed offshore wind farms, and offshore wind farms with notability other than size.
As of 2022, Hornsea 2 in the United Kingdom is the largest offshore wind farm in the world at 1,386 MW.[1]
This is a list of offshore wind farms with at least 400 MW nameplate capacity that are currently operational.

The Offshore Wind Market Report: 2023 Edition provides detailed information on the U.S. and global offshore wind energy industries to inform policymakers, researchers, and analysts about technology, economic, and market trends.
The report covers global operating offshore wind energy projects through Dec. 31, 2022, and U.S. projects in various stages of development through May 31, 2023.
This year, the total global capacity reached 59,009 MW from 292 operating projects and over 11,900 operating wind turbines.
As of May 31, 2023, the Offshore Wind Market Report: 2023 Edition estimates the U.S. offshore wind energy pipeline to have 52,687 MW of capacity, which is the sum of installed projects, projects under construction, projects approved for construction, projects undergoing various state and federal permitting processes, existing lease areas, and the development potential of yet to be leased wind energy areas.

America''s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm is officially open, a long-awaited moment that helps pave the way for a succession of large wind farms.
Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource built a 12-turbine wind farm called South Fork Wind 35 miles (56 kilometers) east of Montauk Point, New York. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul went to Long Island Thursday to announce that the turbines are delivering clean power to the local electric grid, flipping a massive light switch to "turn on the future." Interior Secretary Deb Haaland was also on hand.
Achieving commercial scale is a turning point for the industry, but what''s next? Experts say the nation needs a major buildout of this type of clean electricity to address climate change.
Offshore wind is central to both national and state plans to transition to a carbon-free electricity system. The Biden administration has approved six commercial-scale offshore wind energy projects, and auctioned lease areas for offshore wind for the first time off the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coasts. New York picked two more projects last month to power more than 1 million homes.
This is just the beginning, Hochul said. She said the completion of South Fork shows that New York will aggressively pursue climate change solutions to save future generations from a world that otherwise could be dangerous. South Fork can generate 132 megawatts of offshore wind energy to power more than 70,000 homes.
"It''s great to be first, we want to make sure we''re not the last. That''s why we''re showing other states how it can be done, why we''re moving forward, on to other projects," Hochul told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview before the announcement.
South Fork will generate more than four times the power of a five-turbine pilot project developed earlier off the coast of Rhode Island, and unlike that subsidized test project, was developed after Orsted and Eversource were chosen in a competitive bidding process to supply power to Long Island. The Long Island Power Authority first approved this project in 2017. The blades for the 12 Siemens Gamesa turbines reach speeds of more than 200 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour).
