Global windfarm installations expected to surge after Covid drop, says report
Offshore energy boom in China will grow world’s windfarm capacity by more than 12GW in 2021
Windfarm installations are expected to double to record global levels this year, after a short-lived Covid-19 slowdown, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
The group’s annual report found that the world’s offshore windfarm capacity grew by 6.1GW last year, down slightly from a record 6.24GW in 2019, but would rebound to more than 12GW in 2021 powered by an offshore wind boom in China.
