Offshore Wind Power Becomes Competitive with Fossil Fuels
Market Research Future Insights The global offshore wind market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% from 2023 to 2030, reaching a value of $ 117.6 billion by 2030 Offshore wind refers to the process of generating electricity from wind turbines located in the ocean or sea. Offshore wind farms are usually situated in shallow waters near coastlines, where the wind speeds are higher and more consistent than on land. This type of renewable energy has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the availability of larger and more efficient wind turbines, as well as declining costs and increasing demand for clean energy. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the offshore wind energy sector. The pandemic has disrupted supply chains and caused delays in the construction of new offshore wind farms. The global lockdown measures and reduced economic activity have led to a decrease in energy demand, which has resulted in lower energy prices. A...
