Global offshore wind report 2023
The global offshore wind industry delivered its second best year for new capacity ever in 2022, with 8.8 GW of new clean energy connected to the grid around the world, according to the new Global Offshore Wind Report 2023, from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). The report forecasts that a massive 380 GW of new offshore wind will be built by 2032 – nearly half of which will come from the Asia-Pacific region. The size of the potential in the APAC region, combined with the number of new countries turning to offshore wind for their energy needs, marks the next frontier for this exciting technology. More than 180 GW capacity has been identified in the region outside of China, with Australia alone accounting for more than 50GW.
