Energy Transition: Where is the Long-Term Thinking on Offshore Wind Energy?

Abstract The paper at hand presents the development of offshore wind energy with a focus on the North Sea Region (NSR) and its dominant countries. The article analyses not only the shift to Asia in terms of offshore energy but also a structural shift inside the NSR that is disadvantageous to Germany...

description Abstract The paper at hand presents the development of offshore wind energy with a focus on the North Sea Region (NSR) and its dominant countries. The article analyses not only the shift to Asia in terms of offshore energy but also a structural shift inside the NSR that is disadvantageous to Germany. As an example of longterm planning within the market, the article quantitately examines the new challenge of decommissioning offshore wind installations embedded in two major cycles arising in the next decade. Moreover, the level of preparation in the respective countries is critically discussed. Open questions about adapting to the challenges arising from decommissioning are highlighted and potential answers are presented.
