Offshore wind energy utilizes wind farms constructed in bodies of water, usually in the ocean, to produce electricity from wind power. With no requirement for land, offshore wind power plants can be substantially larger than their onshore counterparts. Each offshore wind turbine is typically three to five megawatts in capacity and the farms have a minimum of 30 turbines. Europe has been pioneering the development and installation of offshore wind power with favorable coastal geography and strong political will to transition to renewable resources.
The Global Offshore Wind Energy Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 33 billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
