The European offshore wind industry is revving up for a new boom in build-out in 2019-20, following a “catch up” year where installation slipped to 2.65GW, a 15.8% drop on a banner 2017 when a record 3.15GW was set turning.
Industry advocacy body WindEurope, which today released its latest offshore wind statistics, has tallied some 50-60GW of projects that are lining up for construction through to 2030, head of market intelligence Daniel Fraile told Recharge, that should translate into a yearly deployment of around 4GW in the near-term.
