World Offshore Wind Market 2009-2013
The new edition of The World Offshore Wind Market Report by energy industry analysts Douglas-Westwood (DWL) examines the current and future prospects, technologies and markets for the offshore wind energy sector. It is the definitive report in the sector, used by investment banks, manufacturing and installation contractors, and departments of government.
The industry is now moving quickly, and construction and tendering activity is at an all-time high. Offshore wind is forecast to see EUR21 billon of capital expenditure in the coming five year period as 6.5GW of new capacity is installed. With just over 1.5GW of capacity currently installed, this represents significant market growth and leads to an annual capital expenditure of over EUR5.6bn by 2013.
