The design of the wind offshore turbines around the world has changed significantly in the last two decades. The maximum rotor diameter used for these turbines was around 35 meters in 1991 and has increased to 164 meters as of 2017. By 2026, offshore wind turbines worldwide are expected to have a maximum rotor diameter of 225 meters.
