Along our beautiful coasts, you’ll see offshore wind turbines generating clean energy for homes and businesses across the UK. According to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, in 2021 the average electricity consumption for a British household was 3,898 KWh. As the population grows, demand for power will increase too, so turbines are an important part of our renewable energy mix.
According to there are currently 43 offshore wind farms around the British coast, comprising 2,652 wind turbines with an operational capacity of 13,660.020 megawatts. Almost 21 million homes in the UK are powered by wind, and our wind farms currently save about 34 million tonnes of CO2 emissions
