34 GW by 2040 “potential” for floating offshore windannounced by RenewableUK

Sums of non-binding agreements in EU countries(Jan.2023), preceded by:

EU strategy on offshore renewable energy (Nov. 2020)● 60 GW by 2030, 300 GW by 2050

EU (27)

About 111 About 232 About 317● € 800 billion investment needed by 2050

● European Commission (EC) to provide a clear andsupportive

legal framework for offshore wind

● EC will help mobilize all relevant funds to support

development● EC will strengthen the supply chain

with offshore wind and green hydrogen from the North Sea● Jointly develop hybrid/multi-purpose and cross-border

Support initiatives, policies for floating offshore wind:● Floating Offshore Wind Shot initiative to reduce cost by70%● Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides manufacturing tax

credits

Both are industry group initiative goals, not government
official goals (GWEC Global Wind Report 2023)
Part of 2050 Net-Zero strategies● Development to focus on large-scale, floating offshorewind
