Wind generation in the USA is forecast to increase by 6.9% in 2026 and by a further 5.4% in 2027, according to an analysis by the Sun Day Campaign of data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Wind is forecast to account for 11.36% of US electricity generation in 2026, the largest share among the individual renewable generation sources in the EIA forecast. Wind generation increased by 2.65% in 2025 compared with 2024. The EIA expects the increase to accelerate in 2026 before moderating in 2027.

Around 600 representatives from the wind energy sector, including people from politics, associations and the media, took part in an offshore excursion on 31 August organised by Messe Husum & Congress and WAB e.V. Aboard the FRS Halunder Jet, the full-day trip travelled from Hamburg into the German North Sea, passing offshore wind farms operated by various companies. During the trip, experts from operators, grid operators and other companies provided information on wind farms, infrastructure, technologies and current developments in offshore wind energy. Participants gained insights into the projects and experienced the scale of offshore development at sea.

Offshore wind is expected to play a central role in Denmark’s clean energy system. The country plans to establish an artificial island in the North Sea with an initial capacity of 3 GW, alongside another island-based hub at Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. These hubs are intended to collect electricity from offshore wind turbines, transmit power to shore and neighbouring countries, and convert surplus electricity into green fuels through Power-to-X technologies. According to GlobalData, Denmark’s energy islands could have a regional role by supporting cross-border electricity flows and the integration of offshore wind generation.
