The project, which is expected to generate 5 TWh/year, will comprise 70-100 turbines with a capacity of 12-20 MW.

Multiple states, including New Jersey, want to become the hub of the supply chain that will support offshore wind energy in the U.S., planning and building onshore support sites for manufacturing turbine blades and other components of wind power.

Ukraine's installed wind capacity has increased from around 500 MW in 2015 to 1.4 GW in 2020 and wind covered 1.4% of the power mix in 2020.

France targets 2.4 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2023 and between 5.2 GW and 6.2 GW by 2028.

The US$700m project, which is expected to generate 2 TWh/year, will include 140 turbines with a maximum power of 7 MW.

The global offshore wind industry installed 6.1GW of capacity in 2020, down slightly from a record 6.24GW in 2019, although GWEC expects a new record year in 2021, as China’s offshore wind sector rushes to install 7.5GW ahead of the expiry of current feed in tariffs (FITs).

The upcoming allocation round is expected to consist of up to 4.5 GW across the two areas (Utsira Nord and Sørlige Nordsjø II), with the technical potential being much higher.

Taiwan has a target to instal an additional 9 GW of offshore wind by 2031, and 15 GW by 2035.

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has awarded 1,200 MW of wind projects as part of the Tranche XI auction for 1,200 MW of interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected wind power projects in India

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) awarded 1,350 MW as part of the Tranche IV auction for 1,200 MW interstate transmissions system (ISTS)-connected wind-solar hybrid power projects on a build, own and operated basis (India).
