He said collaboration among developers was crucial to lower costs, which was especially important for turbines, the substructures holding the wind farms in place and installation of the projects.
He compared the nascent industry to early lessons learned in the oil and gas drilling sector, where drilling the first well of a program took 45 days, while the final project took only eight days, bringing down costs.
"I think you make that very rapid change quite quickly, the learning curve declines toward the end," he told Reuters at a London conference.
International wind energy players such as German engineering firm Siemens, Spain's Gamesa and Danish manufacturer Vestas in January announced plans to build manufacturing and research facilities in the UK.
Britain has awarded licenses to construct up to 40 gigawatts GW of offshore wind capacity off its coasts.
At the start of the year, Britain was the world leader in installed offshore wind capacity with 1,341 megawatts MW in operation, according to the European Wind Energy Association.
