Germany leads Europe in offshore wind energy growth

Europe's offshore wind capacity doubles in one year but the UK falls behind Germany in the clean energy race, despite attracting more investment

Germany has overtaken the UK in the rate at which it is installing wind turbines at sea, industry figures show.

Globally, wind installations grew by 25% in 2014, reaching a landmark 62,000 MW of capacity, according to a separate report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).
