The market in three numbers
Record scale. Uneven geography. Real constraints.
A direct read on where the sector entered 2026—and what the headline capacity totals do not tell you.
GW a year forecast through 2030
GWEC expects 969 GW over five years. Delivery now depends on system capacity around the turbine.
GW of offshore wind under construction
The nearer-term offshore pipeline is substantial; ports, vessels, auctions and connections set the pace.
