A new GlobeScan report warns that Europe’s offshore wind growth faces increasing cost pressures and delivery challenges. The study, published by Think Tank GlobeScan and commissioned by Dajin Heavy Industry, draws on interviews with senior executives representing about 85% of Europe’s existing and planned offshore wind capacity. According to the report, rising costs and tightening supply-chain and project delivery conditions are undermining offshore wind ambitions across multiple markets. The findings emphasize that uncertainty in the policy environment is becoming a key factor for developers and supply-chain participants, affecting planning and investment decisions. The report calls for greater policy certainty to help address delivery risks and improve project outcomes. While the report focuses on industry perspectives, it highlights broader systemic issues that can influence build schedules, financing, and contract planning. The overall message is that offshore wind remains a strategic area for Europe, but momentum depends on reducing regulatory and policy volatility and overcoming operational and commercial constraints that are contributing to delays and higher costs.
