Norway does not actually need offshore wind farms for power - nearly all its electricity comes from renewables already - but instead sees the sector as a means of helping its vast oil and gas industry secure a new, low-carbon business model for the future.

114 GW of new wind capacity was added globally in 2020, representing an 82% increase year-over-year (YoY)

Offshore wind farms can take advantage of major wind streams out in the ocean without taking up valuable real estate inland.

China will preferentially give subsidies to wind and solar power companies, and further step up credit and loan support.

The cost of generating power from the sun has dropped more than 80% in the last decade, making it competitive with plants powered by fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.

The Sofia wind farm will be located 195 kilometres (121.2 miles) off the UK’s North East coast in the shallow area of the central North Sea, known as Dogger Bank. Once fully operational, it will be capable of producing electricity for 1.2 million UK homes per year.

Indonesia has a total capacity of 67 GW (end of 2019), distributed as follows: 52% coal, 27% gas, 10% oil, 8% hydroelectricity, and 3% geothermal.

The Norwegian solar company confirmed its previous target of having 4.5 GW of photovoltaic (PV) capacity at end-2021.

These parties have made proposals involving solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power, as well as liquefied natural gas and battery storage.

The wind farm complex will be located some 35km to 60km (21.7 miles to 37.3 miles) off the coast of Changhua County.
