* Where multiple foundation types are indicated, a mixture of foundation types may be considered, or a decision is pending This document shows that the UK’s offshore sector continues to grow rapidly. There is now 10.415GW of offshore wind capacity Offshore operational across 38 offshore wind sites. Since the publication of the 2018 edition of the Timelines, 3.26GW of Offshore
new generation capacity has come on-line. Beyond this sits a longer-
term deployment pipeline out to 2030. Wind Wind
The UK Government has set a target of 40GW by 2030, with offshore Project wind set to become the backbone of our electricity system. Meeting Projects this target - alongside our wider Sector Deal ambitions — will secure Timelines
tens of billions of pounds of new investment, support thousands of
new jobs and create opportunities to export to global markets. 2020
