WFO Global Offshore Wind Report 2025

Abstract

The offshore wind sector faced a slowdown in 2025 resulting in a reduction in capacity additions, final investment decisions (FID) and lease awards in comparison to the previous year. Despite this, 30GW of lease capacity was awarded. This slowdown has been recognised by governments, leading to policy resets in 2025 aimed at ensuring delivery of the current project pipeline and securing a more resilient pipeline for the years ahead.
