In theory that should mean that New York can install 2,400 by 2030 but it should be noted that New York's total on -
shore wind capacity in 2015 was 1,891 MW.
But there, too, an acceleration in off -
shore wind capacity that could spike this number may also be in the offing.

This grid will enable Scotland to develop nearly 60,000 megawatts of off -
shore wind generating
capacity, close to the 85,000 megawatts of current electrical generating
capacity for the United Kingdom.
The potential generating
capacity was calculated from the total offshore area within 50 nautical miles of
shore, in areas where average annual
wind speeds are at least 7 meters per second (approx. 16 mph) at a height of 90 meters, assuming 5 MW of
wind turbines could be placed in every square km.
