India's offshore wind power capacity to hit 30 Gw, equal China's by 2030

As per estimates, China and India will ride offshore wind power wave. South Korea (18 Gw), Japan (10 Gw), Taiwan (5.5 Gw) will be other major contributors

India's offshore wind power generation capacity is seen climbing to 30 Gw by 2030, on par with China and accounting for 30 per cent of the envisaged capacity of 100 Gw in Asian economies. As per the estimates of the Institute for Energy Economics & Financial Analysis (IEEFA), both China and India will ride the offshore wind power wave. The balance capacities will be contributed by South Korea (18 Gw), Japan (10 Gw), Taiwan (5.5 Gw) and the rest 6.5 Gw to be added up jointly by Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
