Offshore wind farms are the greatest contributor to renewable electricity generation in the United Kingdom. In 2023, offshore wind power production reached almost 50 terawatt hours. This followed the ever-increasing fleet of offshore wind parks. Onshore wind power production came to 32.6 terawatt hours in 2023. Offshore and onshore wind combined accounted for some 60 percent of the UK's renewable electricity generation that year.
