The document discusses the five largest offshore and onshore wind farms in the world. The largest offshore wind farm is the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm in the UK, with 100 turbines capable of generating 300MW of power. The largest onshore wind farm is the Roscoe Wind Farm in Texas, with 627 turbines and a total capacity of 781.5MW across nearly 100,000 acres. Other large wind farms mentioned include Horse Hollow in Texas, Capricorn Ridge in Texas, and Fowler Ridge in Indiana.
