About Hornsea 2
Hornsea 2 is an offshore wind farm off the coast of England, with 1,320 MW of registered generating capacity across 3 balancing mechanism units. It is the 2nd largest of the 163 wind farms in GridMonkey's list of Britain's wind farms that report to Elexon, and is operated or mostly owned by Ørsted. Every half hour it tells the grid how much it will generate (its physical notification). That is the live figure above, and GridMonkey has recorded it every half hour since 17 October 2026 for the chart.
The government's Renewable Energy Planning Database lists Hornsea 2 as operational since August 2022, with 165 turbines of 8 MW.
