Triton Knoll Wind Farm is a proposed offshore wind farm 33 km off the coast of Lincolnshire, in the North Sea, England. It is being developed by RWE Npower Renewables.^[1]

The original plan was for 240 turbines with a nameplate capacity of 1,200 MW,^[2] which could have made it the largest offshore wind farm in the world. In July 2013 the government approved a plan for 288 turbines generating 1,200 MW.^[3] In January 2014 the developer RWE npower announced that it had now chosen to progress with a reduced plan which ranges between 600 and 900 MW, rather than the maximum of 1,200 MW.^[4] The decision came just six weeks after the company cancelled its plans to build the 1,200 MW Atlantic Array in the Bristol Channel.^[4]
