Wind energy in Europe: outlook to 2030

Europe installed 18.3 GW of new wind power capacity in 2023. The EU-27 installed 16.2 GW of this. 79% of the new wind capacity built in Europe last year was onshore. The volume of new offshore installations is growing – last year it was a record 3.8 GW in Europe. But 2/3rds of the new wind installations up to 2030 will continue to be onshore. Europe is expected to install 260 GW of new wind power capacity over 2024-2030. The EU-27 should install 200 GW of this – 29 GW a year on average.
