Analysis of the development status of the global offshore wind power industry commercial development is at the right time
In recent years, the global installed capacity of offshore wind power has been steadily increasing. Developed countries such as Denmark, the UK and Germany have introduced a whole set of policies and systems to support the development of offshore wind power in terms of energy, approval and finance. So far, 10 countries have maritime installations, including Denmark, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, China, Japan and Belgium.
According to the "Offshore Wind Power Market Foresight and Investment Planning Analysis Report" released by Foresight Industry Research Institute, the global installed capacity of offshore wind power in 2015 was 3398MW, the highest installed capacity in recent years, with an increase of 98% compared with the previous year. In 2016, 2,219 MW of offshore wind power was added, and the global total installed capacity of offshore wind power reached 14,383MW, accounting for 2.95% of the total installed capacity of wind power.
European countries account for 88% of the total. By 2017, the installed capacity of the world's 9 ocean-wind power markets has historically increased by 4334MW, an increase of 95% compared with 2016. The global total installed capacity of offshore wind power has reached 18814MW, an increase of 30% compared with 2016 (14384MW). China's cumulative installed capacity in 2016 is about 1582.13MW, which still accounts for a small proportion in the world.
