Europe plans to increase its offshore wind capacity from 36.6 GW today to 84 GW by 2030. To reach this target, stronger investment is needed in ports and vessels, according to a statement from WindEurope. Currently, Europe is able to install and maintain around 10 GW of offshore wind capacity annually. This is the minimum required to meet 2030 targets. After 2030, annual deployment will need to increase to at least 15 GW to stay on track with energy transition goals.

United States Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum has signed a Secretary’s Order aimed at revising how energy projects on federal lands are assessed and permitted. The order introduces the concept of “capacity density” as a criterion for evaluating proposed projects, with the goal of optimising energy generation while limiting environmental impacts and might be an additional obstacle for the development of wind and solar energy projects on federal lands.
