According to the latest data from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 6 GW of new offshore wind power was added globally in 2020, of which China led the world in offshore wind capacity for the third consecutive year, adding more than 3 GW throughout the year, accounting for half
of the total global increase.
This is followed by the Netherlands, which added 1.
5 GW of installed capacity
in 2020.
In addition, European markets such as Belgium, the UK and Germany added around 706 MW, 483 MW and 237 MW of offshore wind installations
respectively.
Unfavorable conditions and a short-term poor pipeline of projects have led to a slowdown
in growth in Germany.
Outside China and Europe, South Korea and the United States have installed 60 MW and 12 MW of offshore wind capacity
, respectively.
It is worth mentioning that in 2020, Portugal installed 17 MW of floating offshore wind energy
.
By the end of 2020, the cumulative global offshore wind capacity reached 35.
19 GW, an increase of 106%
over the past five years.
The UK accounts for 29% of the total global production capacity, followed by China and Germany with 28.
12% and 21.
96%
respectively.
Alastair Dutton, Head of GWEC's Global Offshore Wind Task Force, said: "Current global offshore wind has helped society avoid 62.
5 million tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to 20 million cars off the road
.
Current offshore wind capacity already supports around 700,000 jobs
worldwide.
”
Feng Zhao, Head of Market Intelligence and Strategy at GWEC, said: "The continued growth of the global offshore wind industry throughout the pandemic is a testament to the resilience
of this booming industry.
Although China was first hit by the COVID-19 crisis, the impact on the offshore wind sector was minimal
.
China is expected to continue its record growth through 2021, helped by the expiration of China's feed-in tariff subsidies at the end of this year and the completion of offshore projects scheduled to meet
the deadline.
”
The Asia-Pacific region will play a key role in driving the sector's growth, with Japan and South Korea recently setting ambitious offshore wind targets
.
With the Biden administration aiming to accelerate the development of the offshore wind industry, the United States will also become an important market
.
In November 2020, the European Commission published a strategy to help achieve the EU's climate neutrality target by 2050
.
The plan proposes to increase Europe's offshore wind capacity from the current 12 GW to 60 GW by 2030 and to 300 GW
by 2050.
According to Rystad Energy's analysis, demand for offshore wind workers will triple by 2030, surging from 297,000 in 2020 to 868,000 full-time jobs
