Locations of offshore wind farms in Danish waters

This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in Denmark (within the national maritime boundaries). Denmark's wind power generation is the highest in the world as a fraction of domestic consumption, reaching 47% in 2019.[1]

Data is primarily from the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database.[2][3] Tariff data is supplied by the Danish Energy Agency.[4] 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 Wind Farm part is implied and hence omitted for ease of reading.
