Offshore Wind in the European Union

This two-page primer provides an overview of offshore wind development in the European Union. It outlines major decision-making entities and responsible parties at various points throughout the development process. Topics covered include siting, financing, power procurement, workforce development, and more.

This resource was co-developed with the European Commission to support US state officials learning about the European offshore wind policy context as part of CESA’s Offshore Wind Learning Exchange, a platform for information exchange and collaboration among policymakers in the US and Europe.
