Executive summary

Global offshore wind on growth path from 2017 Global growth in offshore wind expected to come close to 25% CAGR (2014-2024)



LCOE is gradually reduced over the coming years -



Global growth in 2017-24 will be lead by Asia and Europe -



Offshore wind has cost reduction opportunities in multiple areas Innovation and new technologies required to bring down LCOE Offshore wind requires scale to reach grid parity

After a contraction around 2016, the global offshore wind power market will grow significantly from 2017 Asia is expected to ramp up massively and install more capacity every year than Europe from 2017 Strong commitment to offshore wind in China, as evidenced by ambitious targets of 5GW in 2015 and 30GW in 2030 and recent policy signals Lengthy consenting procedures and low support for offshore wind projects pose an imminent threat to large scale offshore build-out in China

European growth to accelerate from 2017 – current political climate dominated by ambitions to bring down consumers’ energy bills – energy security on the rise -

EU climate package introduces 2030 renewable targets, but national binding targets are missing European national offshore ambitions scaled down Lack of clarity on long term national offshore wind policies may hamper growth already before 2020 Energy security concerns may take center stage in raising EU renewables ambitions and targets

Future Outlook

Offshore developers and governments in key role to drive development of European sector Technology development

Supply chain maturation

Political support



Development of larger and more reliable turbines







Develop next generation foundations



Redevelop the transmission solution for far-from-shore projects



Optimised O&M solitions

Developers & OEMs are to push technology innovation, risk mitigation and entrance of new technologies



Consolidation of business to provide for 4-5 supplier having critical business mass for innovation, yet being in competition Develop industrialized supply chain, standardization of main components and serial production

Developers and governments to secure supply chain development

  

Secure transparent long term planning horizon on EU and national level Continued high certainty on revenue and subsidy levels throughout asset lifetime Ensure stable support levels during the transition towards lower cost-of-energy Create level playing field and set fair price for CO2

Governments to support future buildout in the mid- to long- term with stable and transparent subsidies
