Not until Blyth Offshore came online, exposed as It Is to the full force of the North Sea, could any be described as truly offshore.
The newly-completed Horns Rev Is the largest offshore project In the world.

The US Is also dipping Its feet In the water with the proposed Cape Cod project UtiIsing megawatt-plus class machines, these projects will generate higher volumes of electricity from the more constant wind regimes experienced at sea and are likely to play a major role In power generation In the future.
The EWEA have estimated that 5GW of the 60GW predicted for 2010 will be coming from the offshore sector.
