Onshore wind is a significantly more eco-friendly energy source than coal, oil, and natural gas. As a result, wind is probably going to start playing a bigger role in the energy landscape in the next years. Moreover, onshore wind farms need less expensive infrastructure than offshore wind farms need to transfer their electricity. In addition, onshore wind power is currently the cheapest kind of renewable energy available. Therefore, governments are encouraging the use of wind energy over other sources of energy.

• May 2023

The UK government has opened up public comment on "new and improved" incentive programs, such as lower energy costs, for English areas that host onshore wind farms. The government is now trying to persuade more communities that hosting onshore wind helps contribute to the move towards net-zero energy use as well as the delivery of a more effective and affordable electricity system. In the UK, onshore wind is one of the least expensive ways to produce electricity and hence, the UK government is now encouraging the use of the same.

  Governmental programs encouraging construction of wind farms to boost market growth

  
  

Over the coming years, the market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by support from various governments of various nations in terms of policies and investments for expanding the installation of wind energy projects. The UK government also promised to provide new finance for offshore wind projects totaling US$ 272 million. Leading nations' increasing efforts to utilize wind energy will probably drive the market's expansion. For instance, Brazil announced its inaugural offshore wind power generating standards in January 2022. Shell applied for environmental authorization to build offshore wind farms along Brazil's coast in March 2021 with the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA).

Additionally, in July 2022, PEC Energia, a subsidiary of Engeform Energia Renovável, and Vestas inked a contract for the delivery of wind turbines to the Serra das Vacas wind farms in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Therefore, increasing efforts by top manufacturers to provide wind turbines and seek permits to build offshore wind farms are significant drivers of the market's expansion. Therefore, governmental programs to encourage the construction of wind farms has enhanced the onshore wind energy market CAGR across the globe in recent years.

Further, the market is expected to grow quickly over the course of the forecast period as a result of ongoing technical advancement, rising demand for the development of wind farms, and increasing power consumption. Significant market growth and technological activity from key industry players are also anticipated. In addition, the industry is being driven by the increase in projects for the development of wind farms and wind parks. Onshore wind energy is a popular choice for nations aiming to lessen their reliance on fossil fuels. Due to the cheap initial investment expenses and strong return on investment, this is also very appealing to investors. Hence, the growing demand for wind farm construction is another factor driving the growth of the onshore wind energy market revenue.
