The offshore wind power market – current status – future developments National policies and programmes Outline

The offshore wind power market – current status – future developments National policies and programmes Outline

End 2008: 1.5 GW offshore – 8 EU countries Offshore – current status

Global cumulative wind power capacity (MW) 2008 and 2009: steady as she goes 2008: 366 MW annual installed offshore capacity 1,471 MW cumulative installed offshore capacity 2009: 420 MW annual installed offshore capacity 2,000 MW cumulative installed offshore capacity

The offshore wind power market – current status – future developments National policies and programmes Outline

Global cumulative wind power capacity (MW) Offshore wind energy market in the EU in 2010 Annual installations of 1,100 MW Cumulative installed capacity of 3,000 MW Electricity production of 11 TWh Meeting 0.3% of total EU electricity demand Avoiding 7 Mt of CO ² annually Annual investments in wind turbines of 2.5 billion

Global cumulative wind power capacity (MW) 2011 – 2020: steady growth of offshore market Offshore wind energy annual and cumulative installations (MW) Source: EWEA : annual installations of 1.5 GW 2020: annual installations of 6.9 GW 2020: cumulative installations of 40 GW

Global cumulative wind power capacity (MW) Offshore market growth to follow the onshore pattern Source: EWEA 2009 Historical onshore growth compared to EWEAs offshore projection (MW) Onshore market growth:32% Offshore market growth:28%

Global cumulative wind power capacity (MW) : steady growth of offshore market 2021: annual installations of 7.7 GW 2030: annual installtions of 13.6 GW 2030: cumulative installations of 150 GW Offshore wind energy annual and cumulative installations (MW) Source: EWEA 2009

Global cumulative wind power capacity (MW) 100 GW and counting EWEA has identified proposals for over 100 GW of offshore wind projects in European waters: This would meet 10% of EU electricity demand This would avoid 200Mt of CO ² annually 100+ GW shows the significant level of developer interest EWEA prediction:40 GW by GW by 2030
