European offshore wind turbine prices have surged 40–45% as the supplier market narrows to effectively two major OEMs, while Siemens Gamesa reports narrowing losses and a path to break-even — supply-chain cost pressure and manufacturer financial health are the twin risks dominating the sector today. Meanwhile, data-centre financing competition, a major sovereign-wealth fund commitment to Hornsea 3, a €90m factory write-down by CS Wind, and a US policy cliff for tax credits round out a feed with high signal for operators, asset managers, and insurers.

European offshore wind turbine prices up 40–45% as OEM options shrink to two, Rystad finds

The analysis identifies only two viable large-scale turbine suppliers remaining for European offshore projects, creating acute procurement risk. For asset managers underwriting new projects and insurers pricing equipment risk, the combination of higher capital costs and concentrated supplier dependency materially affects project economics and counterparty exposure.

The unit also reported its first orders for a new 7 MW turbine model. For operators and project developers reliant on Siemens Gamesa as one of only two major offshore OEMs, the financial trajectory has direct implications for warranty coverage, delivery risk, and long-term service contract security.
