50GW offshore wind target needs £54bn, says National Grid

The Holistic Network Design report, published this week by National Grid’s energy system operator (ESO), says that up to £54bn of additional investment will be needed to meet Government’s target of 50GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.

The report sets out the scale of challenge the industry faces over the next eight years to meet the planned ramping-up of offshore wind farm capacity in the UK.

The total cost of onshore infrastructure recommended between now and 2030 is £21.7 billion across 94 projects.
