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.
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.
19 lis 2020 · The North Sea has a high and widespread natural potential for offshore wind energy thanks to shallow waters and localised potential for wave and tidal energy. The North Sea is currently the world’s leading region for deployed capacity and expertise in offshore wind.
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 ...
This report summarises construction and financing activity in European ofshore wind farms from 1 January to 31 December 2020. WindEurope regularly surveys the industry to determine the level of installations of foundations and turbines, and the subsequent dispatch of irst power to the grid.
