Current offshore wind pipeline falls short of the 40GW 2030 target

摘要

Latest figures from Cornwall Insight's 'Renewables pipeline tracker report' show that even if all current offshore wind sites with leasing are developed in the coming years, total offshore wind capacity would only reach 29.7GW by 2030 - nearly 26% short of the 40GW target. The report currently tracks 22 sites across both floating and fixed foundation technologies, with many sites looking to progress through the upcoming Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round 4.
