    According to a recent report, the installed capacity of floating wind power will grow from the current 100 megawatts (MW) to 250 GW by 2050, an increase of 2,000 times
    .

    Floating wind will play an important role in decarbonizing the global energy system, accounting for 2% of global electricity supply and more than
    20% of the offshore wind market by 2050, the report added.
    However, scaling the technology will require more comprehensive industry standards and risk management
    .

    "By 2050, the cost of floating wind farms will fall by around 70% and provide new opportunities
    for players in the offshore wind, oil, gas and maritime industries," Det Norske Veritas said.

    According to the report, floating wind power that is not limited by the depth of the ocean will be an attractive option, and its price will continue to shrink
    compared to stationary wind.
    The biggest factors are the introduction of larger turbines, larger wind farms, significant technological developments, and the establishment of highly cost-competitive supply chains
    .

    "We know that floating wind is technically possible," said CEO Remi Eriksen, "and the challenge now is to move quickly to commercial deployment
    .

    He added that floating wind is broadly aligned
    with the know-how, shipyards, and technical, logistical and operational challenges of stationary offshore wind.
