The Crown Estate’s latest UK Offshore Wind Report shows that it generated 52TWh in 2025, as offshore wind has grown from two turbines to nearly 3,000 fully commissioned in 25 years, producing up to 16.5GW of grid-connected capacity.

The report identifies a 93GW pipeline of fixed and floating offshore wind capacity in the UK, spanning sites that are operational, under construction, in planning or with identified future potential.

The sector also made an important contribution to the UK’s climate goals, and in 2025 alone, offshore wind displaced 20.8 million tonnes of carbon.

Julia Rose, head of offshore wind at The Crown Estate, said: “In just 25 years, offshore wind has grown from an emerging technology into a core part of the UK’s energy mix. Today, it is delivering clean energy for households, jobs within communities and contracts for businesses across the country, standing as one of the UK’s greatest industrial success stories in modern times.”
