In 2018, offshore wind turbines had an average rotor diameter of approximately 148 meters and were capable of generating about 5.5 megawatts. It is expected that between 2025 and 2030, new designs of these turbines will make possible to produce up to 20 megawatts with an average rotor diameter of over 230 meters.
