COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS Delivering on the EU offshore renewable energy ambitions

Summary

The European Union faces the challenge of accelerating the deployment of offshore renewable energy to meet ambitious targets of 111 GW by 2030 and 317 GW by 2050, while overcoming rising costs, supply chain fragmentation, and labor shortages. The Commission's approach involves strengthening grid infrastructure, fast-tracking permitting, improving maritime spatial planning, and supporting EU supply chains and R&I. Currently, the EU's cumulative offshore capacity is 16.3 GW, with significant efforts underway to scale up installations tenfold annually.
