28 lut 2024 · Annual build-out of offshore wind should ramp-up significantly towards the end of the decade. We anticipate installations over 2024-2030 to take the EU to 393 GW by the 2030. The EU2030 target is 425 GW. We also see Europe's installed wind power capacity exceeding 500 GW over the same timeframe.
The European Commission expects the EU to produce at least 240 gigawatts (GW) of global offshore wind power capacity by 2050, while international organisations specialising in the energy field are even more optimistic about the prospects of this energy source.
Europe installed a new record 3.6 GW of offshore wind capacity in 2019 but requires major investment in infrastructure and increase installation rates if it aims to deliver its climate targets. European Governments targets and ambitions together pledge to deliver up to 160 GW of wind capacity by 2030 but this requires almost a constant fivefold ...

The European Commission estimates that new EU target of at least 42.5 % renewable energy in energy consumption by 2030 will require installed capacity to grow to over 500 GW by 2030. Although the EU is a global leader in some offshore technologies, the wind sector struggles with many challenges.
11 wrz 2024 · As of end of 2023, Europe reached a cumulative offshore wind energy capacity of 34 gigawatts, accounting for roughly 45 percent of the total offshore capacity in operation worldwide.
• The UK has the largest offshore wind capacity in Europe, with 42% of all installations. Germany is Belgium (9%) and Denmark (7%). • Ørsted (17%), RWE Renewables (10%), Vattenfall (6%) and Macquarie Capital (6%) are the largest owners of offshore wind farms.
The deployment of offshore wind energy is at the core of delivering the European Green Deal and ensuring Europe’s competitiveness and security of energy supply. The installed offshore wind capacity in the EU was 19.38 GW in 2023.
