The European Commission (EC) pledged to advance plans for integrated offshore wind in the North Sea, among a plethora of projects deemed priorities for the EU’s push for energy union.
The EC’s latest statement on strengthening the bloc’s energy networks says enhanced interconnection of offshore wind in Northern Europe will move ahead in 2018 with the planned adoption of a “North Sea infrastructure/offshore grid action plan”, with a “high level” political meeting slated for May or June “to reinforce political commitment in a context of rapidly decreasing cost of offshore wind”.
