Research published by RenewableUK has revealed that the total pipeline of UK offshore wind is now more than eight times current operational capacity at 86GW. The trade body said the latest figure represents a 60% increase over the past year, which has been mainly driven by the awarding of seabed rights to 8GW of generation in the Crown Estate's fourth offshore leasing round and 25GW of capacity in Crown Estate Scotland's ScotWind leasing round.
