July 2024: Vestas secured a contract to supply 60 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines for a 252 MW project in the United States. The project will be Vestas' largest order in North America this year.
It is anticipated that an enormous increase in demand for renewable energy sources will propel the expansion of the wind turbine market. Governments worldwide encourage sustainable energy sources since they can cut carbon emissions, unlike conventional power sources. Additionally, offshore wind power technology does away with the sea depth restriction, making it easier to choose the ideal location for power generation. For instance, in June 2017, the Norwegian energy corporation Statoil committed $268 million to its Hywind turbine project. The project entailed installing floating wind turbines off Scotland's northeast coast at a depth of 78 meters. Additionally, compared to traditional fossil energy sources, wind power has better efficiency (coal, natural, and oil). The wind turbine has a maximum efficiency of up to 59%, compared to 35–45% of fossil fuels.
In the last ten years, wind power had enormous growth, and it is anticipated that it will continue to compete in the energy market. Less than 2% of the world's total power supply came from wind energy in 2010. Its contribution climbed by more than 6% in 2020 and is predicted to expand by more than 10% by 2030 due to enhanced generation and increased capacity. With a CAGR of more than 10%, the total installed wind turbine capacity expanded from more than 190 gigawatts (GW) in 2010 to more than 740 GW in 2020. To reach a total installed capacity of more than 1800 GW by 2030, the capacity is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of more than 9% between 2020 and 2030.
To reduce carbon emissions, both developed and developing countries' regulatory authorities and agencies are focusing on lowering reliance on conventional energy sources and boosting the production of power from renewable energy sources like solar and wind. During the anticipated time, the demand for the wind turbine has expanded across several sectors, including healthcare, food & beverage, and residential, enhancing the wind power market CAGR globally in recent years.
Due to favorable regulations for new wind power installations, the wind power industry has been expanding steadily in the United States. 9.2% of the electricity produced in the US in 2021 came from wind energy. Because of the growing viability of onshore and offshore wind farms and the acceleration of the expansion, it is anticipated that demand for wind turbines will rise during the projected period, another factor driving the wind power market revenue growth.
The Wind Power Market segmentation, based on application, includes residential, commercial, and industrial. The industrial segment held the majority share in 2021 of the Wind Power Market revenue. Industrial wind power is often deployed in sizable wind farms with multiple turbines linked to the country's transmission network. Large-scale utility-scale wind turbine projects require several land, building, and other permissions in addition to careful relationship management with various process players. Removing obstacles to the installation of utility-scale projects is anticipated to fuel the industrial segment's expansion.
The Wind Power Market segmentation, based on installation, includes onshore and offshore. The onshore segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period 2022-2030. Due to its lower cost than offshore wind power, simple installation procedures, and decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, onshore wind power has become the most popular renewable energy source across all areas (GHG). Compared to fossil fuel sources of generation, the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for established onshore wind projects is already low. This trend is expected to continue, lowering installation costs and enhancing the performance of wind power plants in the future, positively impacting market growth.
The Wind Power Market data has been bifurcated by turbine capacity into <100 KW, 100 KW to 500 KW, 500 KW to 1 MW, 1MW to 3 MW, and > 3 MW. The > 3 MW segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period 2022-2030. In 2021, newly installed wind turbines in the United States had an average capacity of 3.0 megawatts (MW), up 9% from 2020 and 319% from 1998–1999. The number of turbines installed in the 2.75-3.5 MW category and the percentage of turbines 3.5 MW or more grew in 2021. Lower costs are ultimately achieved because higher-capacity turbines require fewer turbines to produce the same energy across a wind farm.
