Offshore Wind Market – Europe European Market Projection
2009 EWEA Report
“Oceans of Opportunity” over 100 GW planned • • •
Oceans of opportunity
Europe’s offshore wind potential is enormous and able to power Europe seven times over.
Huge developer interest
Over 100 GW of offshore wind projects are already in various stages of planning. If realized, these projects would produce 10% of the European Union’s electricity.
Repeating the onshore success
EWEA has a target of 40 GW of offshore wind by 2020, an average annual market growth of 28%. The EU market for onshore wind grew an average 32% per year from 1992-2004. Source: EWEA

“… we are establishing a program to authorize… the leasing of federal waters for projects to generate electricity from wind … this will open the door to major investments in offshore clean energy … there is enormous interest in wind projects off the coasts of New Jersey and Delaware, and today’s announcement will enable these projects to move forward.” President Barack Obama, April 22, 2009

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) report 20% Wind Energy by 2030 included 54 GW offshore to accomplish that goal. DOE recently announced A National Vision and Call to Action for creating a U.S. offshore wind industry. $100M allocated to offshore wind research and test facilities through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. RI and NJ completed competitive processes for proposed projects. A DE utility has signed a ratified Power Purchase Agreement (PPAs) with a developer. PPAs have been signed in MA and RI as well. NJ passed the Offshore Wind Economic Development Act, providing for energy certificates, tax credits, and financial incentives Significant interest in the Great Lakes, including competively-bid RFPs for a pilot project in OH and utility-scale project in NY. First federal lease signed for project in MA, under preliminary leasing process. Federal leasing process initiated off of DE and anticipated to begin near-term for projects off the coast of MD and VA.
