Well that's wrong.
The UK has (8,516 + 5,098) ~= 13.6GW of wind capacity[1].
They seem to have reported the UK offshore amount ("8,179MW") as the global capacity:
The global offshore wind market experienced a record year by installed capacity in 2015. Consultancy FTI Intelligence has projected installed generation capacity to nearly quadruple to 31,200 megawatts in 2019 from 8,179 megawatts in 2014.
