    According to a new report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), a record 6.
    1 GW of new offshore wind capacity was added globally in 2019, up 35.
    5% year-on-year and 4.
    5 GW
    in 2018.

    As of 2019, the global offshore wind capacity has accumulated to 29 GW
    .

    From a national point of view, the country with the largest number of new offshore wind installations in 2019 was China, with nearly 2.
    4 GW
    .
    Regionally, Europe continues to lead the global offshore wind market, accounting for 59% of total additions, and Asia-Pacific at 49%.

    Among them, the UK added 1764 MW in 2019 and Germany added 1111 MW, making them the two largest offshore wind markets
    in Europe.

    Chairman Alastair Dutton, Head of the GWEC Offshore Wind Working Group, commented, "Offshore wind installations in 2019 were driven by established market leaders, and over the next few years we will see more and more countries and regions establish offshore wind industries and expand into new markets
    in Europe, the US and Asia Pacific.

    He added that these emerging markets will need the right policy framework so that the world can expand offshore wind construction
    beyond 2030.

    The Global Wind Energy Council expects that by 2024, 50 GW of new offshore wind power will be added globally, bringing the cumulative installed capacity to 80 GW
