Offshore wind farms are the greatest contributor to renewable electricity generation in the United Kingdom. In 2022, offshore wind power amounted to 45 terawatt hours. This was closely followed by the ever increasing fleet of offshore wind parks. Onshore wind power came to 35.2 terawatt hours in 2022. Offshore and onshore wind combined accounted for nearly 60 percent of the UK's renewable electricity generation that year.
