With its growing capacity despite being more costly, the economics of offshore wind is becoming increasingly competitive in energy-demanding regions.

The study, “Techno-economic potential of global offshore wind power in global resolution,” co-authored by Rasul Satymov, Dmitrii Bogdanov and Christian Breyer of LUT University under the EU-SCORES project highlights:

🔹 27.3 TW and 66,200 TWh of global offshore wind potential
🔹 Efficiency and cost comparisons across three turbine spacings
🔹 Land-limited areas benefit from dense layouts; resource-rich areas from wider spacing
🔹 Grid costs spike beyond 200 km – highlighting off-grid hub potential
