The World Offshore Wind Report 2009-2013

New edition

The new edition of The World Offshore Wind Market Report 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.

A growing industry

The industry is now moving quickly, and construction and tendering activity is at an all-time high. Offshore wind is forecast to see €21 billion of capital expenditure in the coming five year period as 6.5 GW of new capacity is installed. With just over 1.5 GW of capacity currently installed, this represents significant market growth and leads to an annual capital expenditure of over €5.6bn by 2013.

In common with other reports in Douglas-Westwood’s acclaimed series, The World Offshore Wind Market Report is aimed at executive readers. The report does not assume detailed technical knowledge of the subject.

Technology review

The World Offshore Wind Market Report provides a comprehensive and fully illustrated review of technologies employed in both existing and future projects including turbines, foundations, cables and their associated installation methods. The report provides analysis of the impact of current and new technologies on the industry and identifies the key players in the business.

Industry issues

Key industry issues are discussed in detail, assessing the relative impact of factors such as costs, market mechanisms, contracting, financing and supply chain capability – illustrated by market forecast information throughout. Focus is given to the current economic climate and the effect of this on the industry in terms of project ownership and investment strategy.

Unique market forecasts

Using the same in-depth modelling process that is adopted for other reports in this series, the report presents a five-year market forecast for activity over the 2009-2013 period. Five years historic data is included for comparison.

DWL has nine years experience in market modelling of the offshore wind industry. Each proposed offshore wind farm worldwide is assessed in-house and we model unique and detailed market information. The report provides forecasts of capital expenditure, and installed capacity, split by country, plus forecasts for numbers, size and type of turbines, foundations, cables and their associated capex. Additionally, charts show contractor market share for manufacturing and installation segments.
