Offshore wind energy: Challenges and opportunities emerging from new European expansion targets

Offshore wind energy has been a key sector of the blue economy for many years. Framed by the European Green Deal, and pushed by renewable energy targets and the desire to achieve energy independence, it is now set to experience renewed growth in the Baltic Sea Region. While maritime spatial planning is an important enabler of offshore wind energy expansion, it also has to anticipate conflicts that may arise with other interests and competing sea uses.
