Global sentiment fluctuating onshore and offshore - but significantly improved in Europe
In the thirteenth edition of the WEtix report, assessments of the onshore and offshore wind markets in Germany and the EU are significantly more positive than in previous surveys. However, views of the global market shared from North America, Asia and the rest of the world are slightly dimmer. The expected global average rated output of new offshore turbines by 2030 has increased substantially, from 18 MW to 19 MW. Hurdles standing in the way of further expansion of wind energy are generally believed to be less critical in the offshore segment than onshore, the most serious ones in both segments being grid expansion and permitting.
The WindEnergy trend:index is published jointly by WindEnergy Hamburg, the global onshore and offshore wind energy event, and wind:research, a leading market research institute for wind energy. The WEtix index covers all onshore and offshore regions globally.
Many thanks to all participants in the WindEnergy trend:index! We are very pleased about the high number of participants. The winners from our accompanying raffle have been determined and will be notified shortly.
