Siemens Gamesa expects a rapid rise in the global offshore wind market to grow at an average rate of 11% (measured as CAGR) and reach 15GW in installations per year in 2030, the wind OEM’s offshore chief executive Andreas Nauen said.

That is up from 4.3GW of offshore installed last year, according to figures by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), which were almost entirely added off the UK, Germany and China, with Belgium and Finland also making a small contribution.
