6 FAQs about [European offshore energy storage field scale]
How big is Europe's offshore wind energy capacity?
Europe’s total installed OWF capacity reached 22 GW in 2019; of that capacity, 77% is installed in the North Sea 6. As part of the ambitious plans of the EU to reach climate neutrality a significant increase to 450 GW total offshore wind energy capacity is intended by 2050 7.
Are offshore renewables a pillar of Europe's future energy mix?
Renewable energy from the seas can be harnessed by a great variety of technologies, making it a cornerstone of the clean energy transition. In line with EU countries’ regional cumulative offshore goals of around 111 GW by 2030 and 317 GW by 2050, offshore renewables are poised to become a main pillar of Europe’s future electricity mix.
Should we scale up offshore renewable power generation?
Scaling up offshore renewable power generation would increase the direct use of electricity in a wider spectrum of end uses in our economy. It would also support indirect electrification through renewable hydrogen and other decarbonised gases.
Should offshore renewables be included in EU legislation?
In order to succeed in rolling out the required capacity, the supply of offshore renewables can and should be integrated in all relevant EU legislation. Upwards revision of the targets in the Renewable Energy Directive and the associated governance structure and statistical transfers is needed.
Which EU funding instruments can play a strategic role in offshore renewable technologies?
In addition to the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the following EU funding instruments can play a strategic role in the roll-out of offshore renewable technologies: InvestEU programmecan provide support and guarantees for emerging technologies to accelerate private investment through its different windows.
How can the offshore wind industry be adapted to the EU Biodiversity Strategy?
Scaling up and further developing the offshore wind industry can be achieved in line with the EU Biodiversity Strategy, increasing renewable energy generation with a strong level of protection of the environment and of biodiversity.
