Core Insights - The Global Wind Energy Council's report indicates that in 2024, the global offshore wind power installed capacity will increase by 8 GW, marking the fourth highest year in history, with a total capacity reaching 83 GW by the end of 2024, capable of providing low-carbon electricity to 73 million households [1][2] - China remains the dominant force in global offshore wind power installation, accounting for 50.47% of the new capacity and 50.3% of the cumulative capacity, solidifying its position as the world's largest offshore wind market [2][4] - Despite the growth in installed capacity, the report highlights a 26% year-on-year decline in new offshore wind installations globally, attributed to macroeconomic challenges, geopolitical conflicts, and uncertainties in the investment landscape [4][5] Global Offshore Wind Power Landscape - By the end of 2024, the global cumulative offshore wind power installed capacity is projected to reach 83.2 GW, with Europe adding 2.7 GW from 9 new offshore wind farms, while the U.S. has only 174 MW due to project delays [2][4] - Floating wind power technology is gaining attention, with a global installed capacity of 278 MW by the end of 2024, led by Norway, the UK, China, and France [2] Future Growth Potential - The report anticipates a compound annual growth rate of approximately 21% for offshore wind installations over the next decade, with an expected addition of around 350 GW by the end of 2034, bringing the total capacity to 441 GW [6][7] - Record auction capacity of 56 GW for offshore wind projects in 2024 and 48 GW of projects under construction indicate significant growth potential, particularly driven by strong installation growth in China and emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region [7][8]
