Once
we
reach
the
magic
threshold
of
wholesale
grid
parity,
we
will
change
society’s
legitimate
question
of
“how
can
we
afford
wind
power?”
to
“how
can
we
afford
not
to
use
wind
power?”.
Fortunately,
through
the
industry’s
continuous
innovation
efforts,
the
cost
of
onshore
wind
is
getting
closer
to
the
magic
threshold,
and
at
the
present
cost-reduction
rates,
the
target
is
within
sight.
Not
so
for
offshore
wind,
however.
Here
the
cost
gap
remains
considerable.
Offshore
wind
is
a
completely
necessary
contributor
to
the
future
electricity
supply
of
Europe.
There
is
no
other
way…
