This report provides a comprehensive overview of offshore wind targets worldwide, covering national, subnational and regional commitments, and showing that governments remain broadly committed to offshore wind, despite recent challenges. Key findings:. The first U. offshore wind farm was built in 2016 off Rhode Island's Block Island. America's first large-scale offshore wind farms began sending power to the Northeast in early 2024, but a wave of wind farm project cancellations and rising costs have left many people with doubts about the. . The European Union alone increased its target of 300 GW of installed offshore wind capacity to 360 GW by 20501, nearly a tenfold increase from today's installed capacity. More than 66 GW is expected to be tendered globally in 2025, but competitive intensity is weakening. At the request of the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA), Ember has developed an authoritative and up-to-date overview of offshore wind targets. . In this next industrial revolution, countries that leverage their abundant wind resources to move fastest towards an electrified future will enhance their competitiveness and gain strategic advantage over their peers. Growth in utility-scale and distributed solar PV more than doubles, representing nearly 80% of worldwide renewable electricity capacity. .
