Due to the national lockdown announced by the UK government due to the Covid-19 pandemic, GlobalData lowered its 2020 forecast for new wind capacity in the UK to 980 MW
.
Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, GlobalData forecast new installed capacity for 2020 at 1.
22 GW
.
Meanwhile, operating wind farms are expected to decline from the current average of 95% to about 85%.
Globally, the UK has emerged as the most prominent player in the offshore wind market, with installed capacity growing from 1.
34GW in 2010 to 9.
97GW
in 2019.
The Covid-19 pandemic may make it more difficult
to keep wind farms running.
The day after the UK government announced a coronavirus lockdown, energy demand in the UK fell by 13%.
Travel bans, supply chain issues and delayed maintenance could reduce the capacity of existing wind farms
.
So far, the focus has been on plant shutdowns and the challenges
of developing and constructing new projects within such a time frame.
In addition to the travel ban, engineering staff shortages due to lockdowns could delay critical operational work
on projects.
In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the UK has revised the timeline for awarding site access rights capable of supporting 7GW of offshore wind in the fourth round of tenders, extending the tender time to provide participants with more time and flexibility
during the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has ceased production to comply with the UK's lockdown period, which ran from March 23, 2020 to April 12, 2020, but resumed production at its blade plant in Hull, northeast England, on April 1
, 2020.
It has taken "strict measures" to protect employees, including thermal imaging checks on all people entering the site and personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers, among other things
