The Crown Estate’s latest UK Offshore Wind Report highlights the growing role of offshore wind in the country’s energy mix, with the sector supplying nearly one-fifth of UK electricity generation in 2025. Offshore wind remained the UK’s largest source of renewable electricity, generating 52 TWh during 2025, enough to supply around 15.5 million homes.

Growth in offshore wind is increasing demand for subsea cables, larger installation vessels and more resilient supply chains, creating new pressure points for project delivery through 2030 and beyond. Two new reports from TGS | 4C indicate that while near-term supply remains broadly manageable in some markets, longer-term constraints are emerging as projects become larger, more complex and increasingly infrastructure-intensive.

The new BAM Report has been published, presenting selected research projects on future safety-related topics. One of the featured projects examines how offshore wind monopiles can use less steel while achieving a longer service life. Offshore wind farms require large quantities of steel for their foundations. Most offshore wind turbines are installed on monopiles, large steel tubes that can exceed 100 metres in length and reach up to 12 metres in diameter. A single monopile can require more than 2,000 tonnes of steel. Corrosion and continuous mechanical loading currently limit their operational life to around 30 years.
