In 2010, the US Energy Information Agency said "offshore wind power is the most expensive energy generating technology being considered for large scale deployment". [5] The 2010 state of offshore wind power presented economic challenges significantly greater than onshore systems, with prices in the range of 2.5-3.0 million Euro/MW. [36]
The following table lists offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States, [31] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area lease has been secured [32] [33] and have gained at least some ...
The following table lists largest offshore wind farm areas ... Deepest fixed-foundation at 45-metre water depth. 2 × Senvion 5MW prototype turbines [204] [205] [206]
This list also includes the most powerful onshore wind turbines, although they are relatively small compared to the largest offshore ones. As of June 2024, the most powerful wind turbine in operation is the world's first 18MW semi-direct drive offshore wind turbine, developed by Dongfang Electric Corporation. [1] In October 2024, Dongfang ...

This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, [1] [2] and primarily the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database and is current up to July 2015. The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is usually related to a shoal or the name of the nearest town on shore.
The exploration of offshore wind energy started with the introduction of monopile foundations for wind turbines in a range from 1 up to 3MW in water depth of about 10 to 20m during the 1990s. [2] Germany has been facing water depths up to 40m, when it joined this new field of renewable energy .
