List Of Offshore Wind Farms
This page lists the top 25 offshore wind farms that are currently operational, rated by nameplate capacity. Also listed are the ten largest offshore wind farms which are currently under construction, the ten largest proposed, and offshore wind farms with notability other than size.
As of September 2012, the Greater Gabbard Wind Farm in the United Kingdom is the largest offshore wind farm in the world at 504 MW, followed by Walney Wind Farm (367 MW), also in the UK. The London Array (630 MW) is the largest project under construction. The biggest producer of wind energy is Horns Rev 2 in Denmark even though it has a smaller nameplate capacity than a few other wind farms. In 2011 Horns Rev 2 produced 911.03 GigaWatt-hours (GWh). The second largest producer is Rodsand 2 with 833,47 GWh produced in 2011. In terms of total production since introduction Horns Rev 1 remains the largest with 5.200,57 GWh produced since the park opened. Nysted 1, also in Denmark, is the second largest wind farm in the world in terms of total energy produced. Nysted 1 has produced 4.521,45 GWh since its start. Third is Horns Rev 2 with 2.002,66 GWh produced.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, wind and/or farms:
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“He is the best sailor who can steer within the fewest points of the wind, and extract a motive power out of the greatest obstacles. Most begin to veer and tack as soon as the wind changes from aft, and as within the tropics it does not blow from all points of the compass, there are some harbors which they can never reach.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We noticed several other sandy tracts in our voyage; and the course of the Merrimack can be traced from the nearest mountain by its yellow sand-banks, though the river itself is for the most part invisible. Lawsuits, as we hear, have in some cases grown out of these causes. Railroads have been made through certain irritable districts, breaking their sod, and so have set the sand to blowing, till it has converted fertile farms into deserts, and the company has had to pay the damages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
