The management team

Political choices by national and European governments must provide sufficient investment clarity for hub-and-spoke projects and offshore wind roll-out. This includes investigating the best way to setup the market for offshore energy through an international approach to offshore bidding zones. The workstreams also investigates possibilities to speed up the current regulatory process for a faster build-out.

The workstream pro-actively engages with key stakeholders including offshore wind farm developers, policy makers and regulators. It works to jointly address the fundamental questions for the buildout through dialogue. The North Sea Wind Power Hub has conducted numerous studies within the different workstreams. Based on this, the consortium takes an advisory role and disseminates knowledge. The aim is to help speed up decisions and avoid potential delays in implementation.

The challenges and drivers to integrate large scale offshore wind in an energy system in transition is the focus of this workstream. It works to establish the best design principles for the energy infrastructure in the North Sea and to map the energy corridors that are most suited to connect offshore wind locations and transport the energy via hubs to shore.
