Power plant developers and operators plan to install more than 6 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity at sites mostly along the U.S. eastern seaboard over the next seven years, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a report on Thursday.

While the Biden administration has set a goal of reaching 30 GW offshore capacity by 2030, from just 42 megawatts currently with 2 small projects, the Biden administration noted that projects include the New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia coasts and Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio.

Norway unveiled plans on Wednesday for a major expansion in offshore wind energy by 2040, aiming to turn a country that has built its wealth on oil and gas into an exporter of renewable electricity.

The centre-left government, which has come under criticism from environmentalists for continuing to support the oil and gas industry, has set a goal of developing 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity by 2040.

France plans to double its renewable energy capacity with a system of regular tenders under a draft 10-year energy strategy plan published on Friday.

The so-called PPE plan, which lays out capacity targets for various energy sectors over the 2019-2023 and 2024-28 periods, also confirmed that four to six nuclear reactors – including two in Fessenheim – will be closed by 2028, as announced late last year.

France aims to boost electrical renewable energy capacity – including hydropower – from 48.6 gigawatt (GW) end 2017 to 74 GW in 2023 and 113 GW in 2028, mainly by boosting wind and solar.
