North Sea Summit agrees 120GW offshore wind capacity by 2030 target

North Sea  

Nations present at the North Sea Summit have agreed to a combined target of 120GW of offshore wind capacity in the North Sea by 2030.

 

This was agreed to and signed by energy security secretary Grant Shapps and his counterparts from France, Ireland, Luxembourg and Norway collectively on 24 April.

 

The UK is set to supply 50GW of offshore wind – including 5GW of floating offshore – by 2030.

This target rises to 300GW by 2050, in an attempted to transform the North Sea into the “Green Power Plant” of Europe.
