Comparative Study of Offshore Wind Power Policies between China and Europe
This report provides a focused analysis of the key dynamics in the offshore wind power sector within China and the European Union (EU), specifically examining their management policies, industrial chain structures, and technological development trends. As primary global drivers of offshore wind growth, China and the EU exhibit distinct characteristics in their policy frameworks, industrial ecosystems, and technological pathways. The report systematically compares and contrasts the current landscape and future trajectories of both regions across crucial dimensions: policy incentives and regulatory systems; supply chain configuration (encompassing equipment manufacturing, installation, and operations & maintenance); and cutting-edge technological advancements (including larger turbines, deep-water and floating wind solutions, and intelligent O&M). By analyzing the similarities, differences, and interactions among these core elements, the report aims to elucidate the underlying logic, challenges, and opportunities shaping the offshore wind industries in China and the EU. The findings offer valuable insights for fostering deeper bilateral cooperation and advancing the healthy, sustainable development of the global offshore wind industry towards achieving global climate goals.
