This statistics illustrates the low scenario* cumulative capacity projections for offshore wind in the European Union (EU-28) by 2030. In this low scenario, the United Kingdom will have the highest cumulative capacity at 18 gigawatts. Germany follows with a cumulative capacity of 14 gigawatts . In total, the cumulative capacity from offshore wind is projected to be 49.5 gigawatts.

Supplementary notes
*According to the source, In the Low Scenario, no binding templates are agreed for National Energy and Climate Plans leading to weak governance, a challenging implementation of the post-2020 Renewable Energy Directive and failure to deliver the EU-wide 27% renewable energy target. Persistent overcapacity continues to 2030. The new market design is not able to guarantee increased renewable energy penetration, and system costs are therefore not reduced. No significant progress is made in electricity interconnections between Member States. Grid congestion issues continue to slow down new installations. The offshore wind energy pipeline of projects is below 4 GW/year, and cost reductions do not materialise.
