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.

Global electricity demand is forecast to grow by 3.3% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026, according to the International Energy Agency. This growth rate is more than double that of overall energy demand. Renewables are expected to overtake coal as the largest source of electricity generation by 2025 or 2026, depending on weather and fuel prices.

The US Department of the Interior has announced a set of measures that will affect the planning and approval of wind energy projects on federal lands and offshore areas. These steps follow a review of how renewable energy projects are managed on public land and waters. The Department will review whether some areas of federal land with strong wind potential should be withdrawn from future onshore wind development, in order to balance energy projects with other uses such as grazing and recreation. It also plans to end future offshore wind lease sales by cancelling previously designated Wind Energy Areas covering more than 3.5 million acres.
