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 ...

- Driving Cost Reductions in Offshore Wind
Offshore wind is a highly promising renewable energy source (RES) that could make a major contribution to global and European efforts to decarbonise the economy by 2050 and keep global warming to around 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, as set out in the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
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 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.
• There are now 116 offshore wind farms in 12 European countries (including one site with partial grid- connected turbines). • 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%)
The revised TEN-E (Trans-European Networks for Energy) framework supports cooperation on cross-border projects, while the newly announced wind power package seeks to strengthen the EU wind industry and further develop offshore wind.
To accelerate wind energy manufacturing across Europe, the Commission presented the EU Wind Power Package in October 2023. It consists of 2 initiatives – the European Wind Power Action Plan and a communication on achieving the EU’s offshore wind ambitions.
