The European offshore wind industry: a wake-up call
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT BRUSSELS | ROOM SPAAK 5B001
This event will enable an open and in-depth discussion on the European Commission’s European Wind Power package, published on 24 October as an outcome of the 2023 State of the Union speech. Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson is opening the debate with a keynote speech.
The discussion will address the bottlenecks the sector is facing: auction design, permitting, financial support, and the level playing field.
