Why the UK?
The UK is one of the world’s largest markets for offshore wind, with more than 10GW of cumulative installed capacity across 38 sites. There is a further 5GW in pre-construction, and there are plans for a further 11GW.
Sector growth was encouraged by the UK’s target of 40GW of offshore wind energy by 2030, as stated in the Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. This includes 1GW generated by floating technologies.
This ambition was increased through the British Energy Security Strategy (BESS), published in April 2022, which aims to achieve up to 50GW of offshore wind by 2030. 5GW of this should utilise floating technology.
