Global wind projects face investment shortfall, warns EIC

Only 5% of the $2tn earmarked for global fixed offshore wind projects have reached final investment decision (FID). It is the clearest sign yet that the current pace of renewable project deployment could potentially stall the progress towards net zero targets, warns Stuart Broadley, Chief Executive Officer of the Energy Industries Council (EIC).

After 25 years, UK offshore wind has overtaken gas to become the main source of electricity

Since the first offshore wind farm was commissioned in December 2000 in Blyth Harbour, off the coast of Northumberland, UK offshore wind has overtaken the amount of electricity generated from domestically produced gas – generating around 10% more power since 2024, according to analysis by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU). As a result, it has reduced UK spending on imported fuels by at least £30bn to date.
