Floating offshore wind is opening new possibilities for wind power locations and will play a critical role in the transition to a cleaner energy supply. Following first successful prototypes and demonstration projects, floating offshore wind is now taking the first steps in commercialization. 

As per DNV's 2024 Energy Transition Outlook (ETO), floating offshore wind capacity is projected to almost 217 GW by 2050. The levelized cost of energy (LCoE) for fixed offshore wind will be around USD 67/MWh and floating offshore at approximately USD 96/MWh, a difference of only 45%. These cost reductions will be driven by volume increases and the advantages of experiential learning.

Faced with challenges coming from unknown territory, many new concept designs and market players, the industry needs reassurance that all possible steps have been taken to minimize risks and maximize the chances of a successful project. DNV is the trusted voice to scale floating offshore wind with confidence.
