Offshore wind is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies globally, as it enables renewable energy generation at scale and complements other forms of renewable energy.

Across the world, offshore wind is expected to reach 1,000 GW by 2050, supporting decarbonisation targets across the world.

Offshore wind farms benefit from strong and more constant winds at sea, without  the constraints experienced onshore such as competing priorities   for land use and the visual impact of the turbines. Offshore wind farms use larger turbines, generating more energy than is possible onshore.
