How AI is accelerating the transition to renewable energy

Offshore wind power has fast become one of the most promising renewable sources of energy. Its growth is expected to continue, with generation capacity predicted to soar from 35GW to 234GW over the next 10 years, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), which ranks the UK, Germany, and China as the largest national markets. The sector is a particular focus in governments' energy strategies, given the plummeting costs and the fact turbines can now be placed ever further from coastlines. Boris Johnson has even stated that he wants the UK to become the'Saudi Arabia of wind power'. The GWEC predicts significant growth over the next five years, with an estimated compound annual growth rate of nearly 32 percent, compared to just 0.3 percent with land-based turbines.
