For many reasons, 2017 is proving to be an important year for the offshore wind industry.
One feature of note is the near total adoption of the latest generation of multi-megawatt (MMW) – ie 5MW-plus – turbines. Except for a handful of installation projects, all newly installed turbines are in the MMW category.
By the end of this year, there will be approximately 870 MMW fully-commissioned turbines in operation in European waters.
