Offshore wind farms are expected to be the greatest contributor to electricity generation in Great Britain by 2050. The volume of renewable energy produced in Great Britain is expected to increase notably, with nuclear power forecast to generate 120.5 terawatt hours of emission-free electricity. The energy capacity outlook suggests nearly 40 gigawatts of installed nameplate offshore capacity will be part of the British power grid in 2050.
