List of offshore wind farms in the North Sea

This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in the North Sea.

This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources,[1][2] and primarily the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database and is current up to July 2015. The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is usually related to a shoal or the name of the nearest town on shore.

Operational wind farms

The list can be sorted by clicking the triangle symbols at the top of each column.
