Wind energy projections for avoided fossil fuel imports in Europe 2030, by scenario

*According to the source, In the Low Scenario, there would be 256.4 GW of wind capacity in 2030, 207 GW onshore and 49 GW offshore, producing 21.6% of the EU’s power demand in 2030. That is 20% less capacity than in the Central Scenario

** Central Scenario assumes that the EU meets its 27% renewable energy target in 2030 through the adoption of the Clean Energy Package proposals presented by the European Commission in November 2016

***High Scenario, which assumes favourable market and policy conditions including the achievement of a 35% EU renewable energy target, 397 GW of wind energy capacity would be installed in the EU by 2030, 298.5 GW onshore and 99 GW offshore. This would be 23% more capacity than in the Central Scenario and two and a half times more capacity than currently installed in the EU.
