Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands push offshore wind
By EUobserver
Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands on Wednesday pledged to increase offshore wind generation capacity from 15 gigawatts (GW) now to at least 150GW by 2050 — as part of efforts to phase-out fossil fuels and reduce energy imports from Russia. This target represents half of the capacity intended for the entire 27-nations bloc, under the EU offshore renewable energy strategy, unveiled back in November 2020.
