    Since when?
    Onshore Turbines
    8,663

    Onshore Operational Capacity (MW)13,739.625
    Offshore Turbines
    2,292

    Offshore Operational Capacity (MW)10,415.

    The offshore turbines are 3 times as powerful/efficient, wow! I hope your dropping the decimals from the offshore MW was accidental, not a deliberate attempt to make one number appear much smaller than another (the onshore capacity). 
    I think you have read the figure incorrectly it's 13,739. (point)625. I can round it up, the decimal is too small for some people to read.
    Onshore 13,739MW
    Offshore 10,415MW
    This is installed capacity
    However, off shore  turbines are much bigger.
    I think the two of you are agreeing vehemently.

    13739MW from 8663 turbines = 1.58MW/turbine
    10415MW from 2292 turbines = 4.54MW/turbine = roughly 3x 1.58.

    And, yes, at first glance eight digits looks a lot more than five, hence the comment about precision.
