This statistics illustrates the high 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 30 gigawatts. Germany follows with a cumulative capacity of 20 gigawatts, with the Netherlands at 18.5 gigawatts. In total, the cumulative capacity from offshore wind is projected to be 98.9 gigawatts.
Offshore wind cumulative capacity high scenario* projections in the European Union by 2030, by country
(in gigawatts)
*According to the source, in the high scenario the EU-wide RES target for 2030 is increased to 35%. Binding templates for National Energy and Climate Plans are adopted, leading to an efficient governance system and full implementation of the recast Renewable Energy Directive. The EU-wide power transmission network is further developed beyond the European Commission’s 15% target.
