North Sea can host 135 GW wind capacity
The North Sea could become home to offshore wind farms with a combined generating capacity as high as 135 Giga Watt by 2030, as per a study conducted as part of an international project chaired by the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands. Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway and the UK have coastlines around the North Sea. The study was undertaken by Windspeed, an offshore wind energy consulting firm.
