The number of projects has increased globally during that time period from 130 to 230. The pipeline includes projects at any stage: operational, under construction, approved, in the planning system, or at an early development stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Within the global 185 GW pipeline, 121 MW are fully\u00a0commissioned over nine projects in seven countries. Ninety-six MW are under construction,\u00a0288 MW are consented or in the pre-construction phase, 31 GW are in\u00a0planning or has a lease agreement, and\u00a0153 GW are in early development or is in the leasing process.<\/p>\n
When it comes to floating offshore wind total portfolios by country, the UK is in the lead. Its pipeline has increased from 23 GW a year ago to over 33 GW, and from 29 projects to 51, which are being developed in the North Sea (Scottish and English waters), the Celtic Sea, and the North Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n
One hundred seven GW (58%) of floating offshore wind capacity is being developed in\u00a0Europe, and 33.3 GW (18%) of the global floating portfolio is in the UK, of which\u00a029 GW is in Scottish waters.<\/p>\n
Outside of Europe, leasing areas off the US West Coast, project\u00a0proposals off Australia\u2019s southeast coast, and South Korea make up\u00a0the majority of\u00a0the rest of the capacity.<\/p>\n
By the end of 2030, floating wind capacity could reach 11 GW in the UK, 31 GW in Europe and 41 GW globally, according to the report\u2019s authors.<\/p>\n
