Navigating the Legal Currentsof the Emerging Offshore Wind Markets

Оffshore wind energy in the Black Sea would serve as a cornerstone for nations striving to achieve ambitious energy transition objectives. The cornerstone of this journey is establishing a robust legal framework, a prerequisite for the region’s decarbonization efforts and the reduction of reliance on fossil fuels. Simultaneously, the European Commission has taken swift action, unveiling its Wind Power Action Plan and Communication on offshore renewable energy.

This workshop on 24 November 2023, 10:00 – 11:30 am EET, will dissect the anticipated impact of these policy initiatives on national permitting and auction design for offshore wind power plants. Join us to explore best practices in aligning offshore wind legislation and gain insights into the forthcoming legislative landscape in Romania and Bulgaria. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay at the forefront of the evolving offshore wind energy sector.
