This statistics illustrates the central scenario* cumulative capacity projections for offshore wind in the European Union (EU-28) by 2030. In this scenario, the United Kingdom will have the highest cumulative capacity at 22.5 gigawatts. Germany follows with a cumulative capacity of 15 gigawatts. In total, the cumulative capacity from offshore wind is projected to be 70.2 gigawatts.

(in gigawatts)
*According to the source, In the central scenario, a clear 2030 governance structure with reporting mechanisms on Member States’ progress to 2030 is implemented, and effective regional cooperation mechanisms are established. Member States implement detailed National Energy and Climate Plans in line with the EU’s binding targets. The Renewable Energy Directive is implemented as proposed by the European Commission, and national policies for wind energy are streamlined, including repowering. As a result, the EU achieves a 27% renewable energy target.
