// Fast-Track Offshore Wind To Help Prevent Future Energy Crises
GWEC's annual Global Offshore Wind Report is the definitive guide to the state of offshore wind energy worldwide - and the 2026 edition is available to download now.
Published at a time of rising instability and uncertainty in international energy markets, GWEC’s 2026 Global Offshore Wind Report sets out an eight-point action plan for policymakers to ensure that offshore wind projects are prioritised for investment as nationally significant projects in planning and procurement frameworks.
In 2025, more than 9 GW of new offshore wind capacity was grid-connected worldwide, enough to power over 10 million homes according to GWEC. This made 2025 the third-highest year for new installations, bringing the cumulative total installed worldwide to 92.5 GW, equivalent to powering over 100 million homes.
