Market Information: Offshore Wind in the UK
Offshore wind is an established and proven part of the UK energy mix and is set to become even more important in the future. It will play a key role in decarbonising our power system by 2035 and helping the UK achieve net zero by 2050.
With the highest deployment in Europe, we have proved that offshore wind can be delivered at ever increasing scale whilst decreasing the costs to consumers.
The UK has a world-leading ambition to deploy up to 50GW by 2030, with up to 5GW coming from floating offshore wind.
Investors from all over the world are already benefitting from the certainty that the UK offshore wind market offers. Our long-term ambitions mean significant, new investment opportunities for private capital in windfarms, transmission infrastructure, port infrastructure, new manufacturing, and services.
