The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released the West Coast Offshore Wind Transmission Study and Action Plan for Offshore Wind Transmission Development in the western United States. Funded by the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) and co-managed by the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), the study was conducted by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) over two years. It examines the costs and benefits of deploying floating offshore wind turbines along the Pacific coast.

Wind energy accounted for 20% of Europe's electricity consumption in 2024, but new wind farm installations lag far behind what is required to meet the EU’s climate goals. Europe built just 15 GW of new wind power in 2024, with 13 GW onshore and 2.3 GW offshore. The EU needs to build 30 GW annually to reach its 2030 targets, but slow permitting, grid connection delays, and limited electrification are holding back progress.
