Dong Energy to quadruple its offshore wind capacity by 2020
Dong Energy is aiming to have installed 6.5GW of operating offshore wind capacity in north-west Europe by the end of the decade, with an intermediate target of 3.5GW by end-2016. Dong has publicly adopted an unprecedented target of reducing its offshore wind cost of energy to €100/MW by 2020. This would correspond to at least 47% less than Germany's current feed-in tariff for offshore wind generation, which is set at EUR 190/kWh. The new 2020 benchmark target for offshore wind is to quadruple installed offshore wind capacity from its currently 1.7GW to 6.5GW in 2020.
