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.

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.
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.
city than currently in-stalled in the EU. Wind energy would produce 1,129 TWh of electricity, equivalent to 38% of EU’s power demand. In this scenario, the wind energy industry would invest €351 bn by 2030, 19% more than in the Central Scenario, and it would create 147.
New installations in the EU-27 reached record levels in 2023 with 16.2 GW of new wind power capacity added represent-ing 88% of all installations in Europe. For the EU to reach its 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030, wind energy installations need to average 33 GW a year between 2024 and 2030.
• Europe installed 17.4 GW of new wind power capacity in 2021. This was 18% more than 2020. 11 GW of the new installations were in the EU-27. • Onshore wind made up 81% of the new installations with 14 GW. In the EU-27, onshore represented 91% of the new capacity. • Offshore wind installations were 3.4GW.
We analyse the state of the European offshore wind innovation system at the end of 2011, based on insights from four European countries: the UK, Denmark (DK), the Netherlands (NL) and Germany (DE).
