The UK is the world leader in offshore wind with more projects installed, being planned and under construction than any other country in the world. By 2020 at least 20,000MW of offshore wind is expected to be installed and operating in UK waters. There are currently 228 offshore wind turbines in UK waters, with an installed capacity of 688MW, and a further 1,407 under construction and approved, totaling 4,598MW. It is estimated that each MW of offshore wind could power around 640 homes.
