During the first 6 months of 2023, Europe successfully integrated 2.1 GW of new offshore wind power, culminating in a cumulative offshore wind capacity of 32 GW. The Netherlands accounted for a majority of this increase, with the remaining share distributed among the United Kingdom, Germany, and Norway. Regrettably, this progress falls short of the requisites essential to accomplish Europe's energy and environmental objectives. The preceding year, 2022, experienced investment setbacks due to unpredictable governmental interventions within power markets, resulting in regulatory instability. Consequently, Europe finds itself in a situation requiring substantial advancements to bridge this gap. Read more below: #wind
Offshore wind investments recovering but still “way to go” - including on supply chain | WindEurope
Wind energy has progressed significantly beyond its historical use in propelling ships and powering windmills. In the present day, wind energy appears poised to assume a pivotal role in facilitating the achievement of global net zero emissions and the decarbonization of various industries.
In the previous year, a combined capacity of 78 GW in wind farms became operational worldwide, contributing to a cumulative installed capacity of 907 GW. According to forecasts from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the global wind energy capacity is anticipated to surpass 1 terawatt (TW) by the conclusion of 2023. (Source: GWEC)

Tidal Wave Energy Is Emerging Globally: Find Out Who’s Leading the Way
The EWP-EDF One installation is the country’s first wave energy project to deliver electricity to its power supply, said the company.
Eco Wave Power Global has connected its wave array at the Port of Jaffa in Israel to the grid.
Now the project will proceed to full system calibration to be followed by a ceremonial “plugging in” event and demonstration in the coming months to commemorate this achievement. #waveenergy #wave
