The Growth of the Global Offshore Wind Market Will Be Driven by Asia

23 September , 2019

Offshore wind is now contributing more and more to the growth of the wind industry as a whole. Asia is set to become a leader in offshore wind, with 100 GW of offshore capacity to be installed until 2030.

Looking beyond 2030, GWEC expects that offshore wind will play a significant role in the energy transition. As more and more markets enter the offshore industry and innovative technology such as floating solutions became mainstreamed, offshore wind will only continue to become more and more cost-competitive. With its large scale, offshore wind has the real opportunity to replace traditional energy sources, contributing to a global green economy.
