Global Offshore Wind Capacity Is Estimated To Surge Over 234 GW By 2030
Wind energy or wind power both describe the process by which the wind is used to generate electricity. Offshore wind energy or offshore wind power is the use of wind farms built into the water bodies, usually in the ocean, to harvest wind energy to generate electricity. Offshore wind energy offers various benefits such as the energy is generated at higher speed on the offshore than on the onshore. Installation of offshore wind energy technologies is gaining significant acceptance worldwide due to its high-power generation capabilities. Global offshore wind capacity is estimated to surge to over 234 GW by 2030 from 29.1 GW at the end of 2019. The United States has an extensive offshore wind energy resource available for utilization. Sides of the Atlantic Ocean are perfect locations for offshore wind farms, as these shores have a tremendous power potential of over 2,500 GW. Around 20 to 30 GW offshore wind capacity is expected to be operational in the United ...
