Europe must organise itself to develop offshore wind farms at a “considerably” faster rate of build-out if the resource is to be harnessed to meet the EU’s energy and climate objectives over the next 30 years, the North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC), a pan-European pro-renewables governmental forum, has said.
NSEC – which includes ministerial representation from Belgium, Germany, Denmark, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden – has called for “existing barriers [to] be tackled for an accelerated deployment of multinational hybrid offshore wind energy projects in the North seas”.
