The global offshore wind project pipeline now stands at 413GW, according to research by RenewableUK’s Project Intelligence team.
The pipeline includes projects which are fully operational, under construction, consented or being planned, R-UK said.
The UK retains top spot at 10.4GW, but China is catching up at 9.4GW and Germany stands at 7.7GW.
Globally 35.3GW are fully operational.
The UK has a total pipeline of 63.2GW of offshore wind capacity.
China is slightly ahead at 64.4GW and the USA is in third place with 40.5GW.
The pipeline includes projects at all stages of planning including early development, but it cannot be assumed that all will be built, R-UK said.
R-UK executive director Isabel DiVanna said: “Our latest Project Intelligence report demonstrates the global appetite to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind around the world.
“It’s especially useful to see where opportunities are arising for offshore wind supply chain companies in the UK to export their knowledge and expertise to new markets.”
