Offshore wind is at the extreme of renewables. It may or may not make sense, but it's not needed to kill nuclear.
Hornsea One (1.2GW from 174 × 7 MW turbines) generated 4,862,438 MWh in 2023 and 4,982,624 in 2022. This represents and 45.6% and 46.7% capacity respectively.
Triton Knoll (855MW from 90 × 9.5 MW turbines) generated 1,687,138 MWh in 2024H1, giving a capacity of 45.1% for this larger turbine.
