According to the Financing Trends Report published by WindEurope, the European wind industry received a total of 65 billion euros ($73 billion) in 2018, of which 27 billion euros were spent on new wind farms, benefiting from falling costs, with a cumulative investment of 16.
7 GW
.
According to the investment report, the current cost of 1 MW of new onshore wind capacity in Europe is around €1.
4 million, down significantly from €2 million in 2015, while the cost of offshore wind for the same capacity has fallen from €4.
5 million in 2015 to €2.

.
Overall, the European wind industry invested €65 billion in 2018, of which €26.
7 billion in new asset financing will finance
a record 16.
7 GW of new wind energy.
Onshore wind accounts for 38% of total new electricity investment in Europe, while new offshore wind investment accounts for 24% of total new electricity investment in the region, a strong indicator
of the importance of wind energy in the European energy mix.
Most of the new capacity will be onshore wind, which accounts for 12.
5 GW, although offshore wind continues to grow and will account for 4.
2 GW
of investment in 2018.
In total, 190 wind farms in more than 22 European countries reached final investment decisions (FIDs) in 2018, mainly in the Nordic and Western European region
.
Compared to the investment figures for 2017, the European wind energy industry is showing significant signs
of growth and maturity.
In 2017, wind energy investments totalled EUR 51.
2 billion, new asset financing EUR 22.
3 billion and new capacity of 11.
5 GW
.
It is also worth noting that the 2017 figure declined in 2016, when €28 billion was invested in new wind farms, but only reached 10.
3 GW
.
Giles Dickson, CEO of WindEurope, said: "Last year, wind energy received 60%
of all investment in new generation capacity in Europe.
It was a record year
for new wind energy investment.
But if Europe is to meet its 2030 renewable energy target of 32%, it will need to continue to invest
heavily.
