European offshore wind installations have set new records in 2026, with multiple large-capacity turbines (15+ MW) deployed at sites in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Mediterranean. Cumulative offshore wind capacity in Europe now exceeds 30 GW with strong pipeline expansion planned.

Major developers are pursuing 50+ GW development targets across multiple European maritime zones.
