Global offshore wind energy market has witnessed significant growth over 2023. Growing concerns regarding climate change and focus on transitioning to cleaner sources of energy have been the key driver in boosting investments and installations of offshore wind turbines across coastal regions worldwide. Offshore wind farms offer the benefit of access to stronger and steadier winds as compared to their onshore counterparts resulting in higher efficiencies. With rapidly declining costs of offshore wind energy generation and enabling policy support from national governments, the offshore wind sector is expected to play a critical role in achieving renewable energy adoption targets.
Market Dynamics:
Growing awareness about climate change and efforts towards lowering carbon emissions have been the key driver propelling growth of the global offshore wind energy market. Rising concerns regarding environmental pollution from conventional power generation methods have led governments worldwide to offer subsidies and regulatory incentives for development of utility-scale offshore wind projects. Favourable policy support in the form of tax benefits and increasing renewable purchase obligations for states/regions have encouraged investments in this sector. However, high upfront costs that are associated with offshore infrastructure development and complexities related to coastal construction pose challenges to widespread commercialization. Furthermore, lack of specialized installation and maintenance vessels further adds to project expenses for offshore locations in deep waters. Ongoing technological advancements in turbine designs that are focused on improving efficiency and operability in harsh offshore conditions are expected to lower the cost of energy generation.
