Offshore Wind Needs New Helicopters Worth $1 Billion
A new report predicts that the helicopter fleet servicing the offshore wind electricity market will increase by 100 by 2030.

A new report predicts that the helicopter fleet servicing the offshore wind market will increase by at least 100 aircraft valued at $1 billion between now and 2030. 

Air & Sea Analytics said the demand will be driven by some 467 new wind projects expected to generate 267 gigawatts (GW) of electric power, a substantial increase over the 33 GW currently produced by offshore wind. The offshore wind energy infrastructure is serviced by as many as 40 helicopters, according to current estimates.
