Reply to comment by owaalkes in China is building a 40 gigawatt offshore wind farm, the biggest power plant in existence by mutherhrg
Offshore is more than twice as consistent than onshore though, I think it's something like 30% full load hours? So the 43 GWpeak might translate into somewhere between 12 and 15 GW I assume.

depends on location, size of turbines, spread of turbines, average wind speed at given height, etc.
on average, new offshore wind farms in the UK are already pushing beyond 40%-45% cf.
