Challenging Offshore Wind
Guiding experiences from the North Sea region
Guidance Projects
Challenging offshore wind: guiding experiences from the North Sea region discusses the major challenges and opportunities in the exploitation of the offshore wind potential in the North Sea region. The virtue of this work is that it relies on studying the experiences of eight offshore projects conducted in the five North Sea countries Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom.
When drawing the guiding experiences for each of these countries the report follows six main topics: planning practices, grid issues, environmental impact, project management and finances, stakeholder involvement and regional economies. The discussion results in opportunities, strengths and weaknesses, which lead to recommendations and challenges for the different countries.
