This is a comprehensive list of operational, offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom (within the national maritime boundaries).

This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources,[1][2] primarily the RenewableUK list[3] and is current up to September 2012. The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is usually related to the name of the nearest town on shore. The Wind Farm part is implied and hence removed for clarity.

The list is sorted alphabetically, but it can be sorted in any way by clicking the symbol <> at the top of each column.
