The world has an offshore wind power alliance for the first time

The spread of offshore wind power technology

At the publicly held event in New York, the Alliance will present its ambitions and vision.

Called the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA), the new organization sets itself a significant challenge: Increase installed offshore wind capacity by 670%. GOWA must push this number from 57 GW in 2021 to 380 GW in 2030. GOWA intends to become an essential catalytic intermediary to exploit a resource with a potential electric capacity of more than 71,000 GW worldwide all over the world.

According to Dan Jorgensen - Denmark's Climate Minister, international cooperation is obvious: "We cannot achieve this goal on our own, but together we can establish a cooperative relationship between us. public and private sectors, as well as between countries and the administrative sector. GOWA is the foundation for us to achieve this goal.”

Denmark will continue to maintain investment to cut dependence on Russian gas.

Efforts against global warming

GOWA's overriding goal is to meet climate goals. According to forecasts by IRENA and the International Energy Agency (IEA), GOWA must install 2,000 GW of offshore wind capacity to ensure that the target of limiting global temperature rise to no more than 1.5°C.

Laura Daniel-Davis - Assistant Secretary of State for Land and Mineral Management also said that the world cannot achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change without international cooperation: I recognize the value of the decision to cooperate globally on offshore wind and the absolute necessity of all nations in their efforts to address the climate crisis.”

Furthermore, given the extremely tense geopolitical landscape, offshore wind is one way to accelerate Denmark's process of energy independence.

Mr. Francesco La Camera - General Director of IRENA expressed his thoughts on the long road ahead: “The security situation and the devastating energy crisis forced us to reassess the situation. Offshore wind technology will be the door to a new future, with the opportunity to significantly harness the potential of wind.”

On the other hand, GOWA has invited many public and private partners to participate in the project, wanting to increase cooperation to create new partnerships.
