The capacity of offshore wind farms in Europe will increase to 240 GW

Об этом говорится в стратегии ЕС в области развития шельфовой ветроэнергетики до 2030 и 2050 гг., отмечается, что суммарная мощность шельфовых ветропарков к 2050 года должна вырасти минимум до 240 ГВт по сравнению с 22 ГВт в 2019 году, передает Ecotown.

This is stated in the EU strategy for the development of offshore wind energy until 2030 and 2050, it is noted that the total capacity of offshore wind farms by 2050 should grow to at least 240 GW compared to 22 GW in 2019, Ecotown reports.

Under the most favorable conditions, in 30 years, the capacity of offshore wind power should increase to 450 GW.

The future strategy covers the European seas – the North, Baltic, Mediterranean and Black – and the Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, it will be an important part of the EU's European Green Deal program, which aims to make Europe the first zero-CO2 part of the world by 2050.

The strategy is more focused on wind farms, but the potential of floating wind and solar plants, energy storage technologies and the use of energy from tides and waves of the oceans will also be considered.
