GWEC expects more than 205 GW of offshore wind energy to be added worldwide by 2030

GWEC anticipates that by 2030 more than 205 GW of offshore wind power capacity will be added globally, including at least 6.2 GW of floating offshore wind turbines. The figure represents a growth of 15 GW over the estimates that GWEC Market Intelligence itself made before Covid-19, demonstrating the resilience of the sector to play an important role in driving the energy transition and the Ecological recovery. The World Report on offshore wind energy was released this week by GWEC and ranks this sector as a crucial contribution of clean energy to the planet. The world market for offshore wind farm energy has grown at a rate of 24% every year since 2013. 29.1 GW are generated in the world and the forecast is that in 2030 we will achieve 234 GW offshore wind turbines.
