Offshore Wind 2035: What to expect?

How project readiness,politics and economics will shape the installation race?

The offshore wind pipeline keeps expanding, but not every project will make it to installation. As developers face rising costs, vessel bottlenecks, and political uncertainty, understanding which projects are truly materialising becomes essential to anticipate the next decade of activity.

Offshore wind cancellations have risen dramatically in the past three years. Since 2019, 164 projects, representing nearly 190 GW of potential capacity, have been suspended. The pace of cancellations has accelerated sharply: from almost none in 2020–2021, to a spike in 2022, and 47 projects already cancelled in 2025 so far. Both early-stage and shovel-ready projects are being hit, reshaping the future supply outlook.

In our next webinar, Spinergie experts Maëlig Gaborieau, Senior Analyst, and Drashya Goel, Senior Client Success Manager, will explore which projects are best positioned to move forward and how the market is evolving toward 2035.

Key topics:

• Project maturity assessment: understanding which 2030+ projects are realistically moving toward FID
• Heavy lift vessel availability: how fleet capacity and newbuilds could limit installation pace
• Regional outlooks: contrasting dynamics across Europe, Asia, and the U.S.
• Market environment: how financial mechanisms, permitting delays, and political shifts impact timelines.

Join us and get a clear picture of the next decade of offshore wind installation, and which projects will truly take shape by 2035.
