2023 and beyond
In 2022, the Government raised the target for offshore wind capacity from 11 to 21 GW by 2030/2031. In addition, the Government is focusing on the generation of energy from approximately 50 GW of offshore wind in 2040 and approximately 70 GW in 2050.
On 25 April 2024, the Government announced a change in the planning with the 21 GW more likely to be reached in 2032.
