North America Offshore Wind Energy Market Size

North America Offshore Wind Energy Market size was valued USD 4.3 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 25% from 2024 to 2032. It refers to the production of electricity using wind turbines erected in bodies of water, typically seas or oceans. These turbines are anchored to the seabed and harness the kinetic energy of the wind to generate electricity through the rotation of their blades. The energy has gained popularity owing to several advantages over onshore wind farms, including stronger and more consistent wind speeds, reduced visual and noise impacts on land, and the availability of larger installation areas.

North America Offshore Wind Energy Industry News:

  • In March 2024, With Equinor's winning bid in the fourth offshore wind solicitation for New York (NY4), Vestas is delighted to see the Empire Wind 1 project move closer to completion. The 810 MW project already has a conditional order in place, and Vestas is willing to supply its cutting-edge V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines. After being installed in December 2022, the prototype turbine is currently undergoing final verification in preparation for the start of serial production and installation for the first offshore projects.
     
  • In January 2024, Equinor's ownership in the U.S. offshore wind projects Beacon Wind, which are located between Massachusetts and New York, will be acquired by BP. These two projects, Beacon Wind 1 and 2, could provide renewable energy to over two million customers in the northeastern United States. In exchange, Equinor will take over BP's 50% stake in the US offshore wind projects owned by Empire Wind. BP plans to continually seek out independently any offshore wind prospects within the United States.
