据普氏能源资讯2019年6月26日休斯顿报道，全球风能理事会（GWEC）在周三发布的一份报告中表示，在一切正常的情况下，全球海上风力发电能力预计到2030年将扩大到190吉瓦。目前全球海上风力发电装机容量估计为23吉瓦。
该报告称，在2017年和2018年，全球每年新增海上风电装机容量超过4吉瓦，占两年内新增风电装机容量的8%。
报告称：“2018年，中国首次成为海上风电新装机容量最大的海上市场，其次是英国和德国。”
全球风能理事会市场情报主管欧伦福斯特说：“我们正站在一个真正的全球海上风能产业触手可及的地方。根据政府目标、拍卖结果和管道数据，我们预计到2030年将新增海上风电装机容量190吉瓦，但这并不代表海上风电的全部潜力。”
欧伦福斯特表示：“许多新国家正准备加入海上风能革命，而海上浮式风力发电代表着一种改变游戏规则的技术发展，它可以在未来几年增加更多的产量。”
GWEC全球海上风能特别工作组主席Alastair Dutton表示，海上风能正在提高其成本竞争力，这种能源的平均平准化成本现在处于“触手可及的” 50美元/兆瓦时。
他说：“这一成就增加了海上风力发电在成熟市场的吸引力，许多国家的政府正在讨论长期气候目标。
如果海上风电行业和政府能够合作，我们可以更快地建立必要的政策框架以确保尽早实现增长。”

Global offshore wind capacity forecast to expand to 190 GW by 2030: wind-energy group
Global offshore wind installations, now estimated at a capacity of 23 GW, is forecast to expand to 190 GW in 2030 under a business-as-usual scenario, the Global Wind Energy Council said in a report released Wednesday.
More than 4 GW of new offshore capacity was installed each year in 2017 and 2018, the report said, making up 8% of the total new wind-power installations during both years.
"For the first time, China was the largest offshore market in 2018 based "We are standing within reach of a truly global offshore wind industry. based "Many new countries are preparing to join the offshore wind revolution, while floating offshore wind represents a game-changing technological development that can add even more volumes in the years to come," Ohlenforst said.
Alastair Dutton, the chairman of GWEC's global offshore wind task force, said that offshore wind is improving its cost-competitiveness with an average levelized cost of energy of $50/MWh now "within reach."
"This achievement increases the attractiveness of offshore wind in mature markets where a number of governments are discussing long-term climate targets," he said.
Dutton said that if the offshore wind industry and governments can work together, " we can build the necessary policy frameworks at greater speed to ensure growth can be achieved sooner than later."
