EU: Offshore wind cumulative capacity high scenario 2030

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.

Supplementary notes

*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.
