OFFSHORE WIND
Time to standardise? Over the past decade, the cost of offshore wind energy has fallen sharply due to a combination of economies of scale, innovation, and an increase in the capacity of wind turbines, which in itself is also a major innovation. The 4MW turbines that were installed in 2013 have made way for the 14MW and 15MW turbines that are currently being installed.
In the current fast-growing offshore wind market, increasing WTG production numbers offer the opportunity to reduce costs.
