      UK offshore wind sector poised for accelerated sustainable growth

      The UK offshore wind industry is set for a new era of sustainable growth, according to The Crown Estate's 2023 UK Offshore Wind Report. With a current capacity of 93GW and a record 49TWh of electricity produced in 2023, the sector is vital for the UK's net-zero ambitions, requiring 125GW by 2050. The Crown Estate’s Whole of Seabed Programme and strategic initiatives aim to coordinate seabed management and infrastructure development effectively, focusing on integrating environmental conservation with economic growth. The approach is crucial for supporting the sector’s expansion and the UK’s broader environmental and energy goals. (The Crown Estate)
