Offshore wind CAPEX in China to decline in next decade: report

Capital expenditure in the market is expected to drop to $7.7b in 2030.

China has been a major player in the offshore wind sector, but capital expenditure (CAPEX) in the market is expected to decline to $7.7b in 2030. Rystad Energy research reported.

Rystad Energy attributed this drop to feed-in tariffs as well as the emerging market dynamics that will lead to lower costs.

Despite this, the CAPEX in the offshore wind sector across the globe is projected to “more than double” in 2030 to reach $102b, up from only $46b in 2021.

This will be driven largely by capacity growth in Europe, where CAPEX is seen to rise to $53b in 2030 from $15b in the last year.

In 2020, China’s investments in offshore wind stood at $25b, which was double what Europe shelled out for the sector in the same year.

“The offshore wind industry is set for substantial growth this decade, with over 265 gigawatts of operational capacity expected by 2030,” Anubhav Venkatesh, offshore wind analyst with Rystad Energy, said.

“As the world moves towards a greener energy mix, investments in the offshore wind sector are set to soar and provide ample opportunities for suppliers to cash in.”

Outside Europe and China, the rest of Asia and the US are expected to commission large-scale projects in 2022 and 2024, respectively.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
