This statement calls for joint political action on climate and biodiversity goals after the 2024 EU elections and underlines five key areas policymakers must focus on to ensure the expansion of offshore wind contributes positively to both the environment and society.
Statement on achieving nature- and people-friendly offshore wind and grids
Decisions made in the next five years will be catalytic in defining the EU’s pathway to achieve climate, energy and biodiversity objectives. OCEaN – North & Baltic Seas calls on European policymakers to address outstanding challenges and effectively implement key policy files.
Statement on the upcoming EU Wind Power Package
OCEaN welcomes the EC’s upcoming Wind Power Package and emphasises that minimum requirements and non-price criteria in offshore wind auctions can enable Member States to maximise project value for society, nature, the electricity system, and supply chains.
Statement on ecological criteria in offshore wind farm auctions
OCEaN - North & Baltic Seas is committed to supporting EU Member States in identifying possible ecological criteria, facilitating contact with stakeholders, and serving as a knowledge-hub of best practices and scientific evidence.
