Meeting the Challenge of Connecting Offshore Wind Farms Cost-Effectively

Grid infrastructure and transmission networks need to continue to develop if Europe is to hit its 40GW offshore wind target. Offshore wind power grid connection remains one of the greatest bottlenecks to offshore wind development. Grid infrastructure, investment and access are key financial challenges in all countries trying to realise offshore wind capacity 

The Offshore Wind Power Grid conference will advance policy and industry discussion and include a series of interactive debates analysing the major challenges involved in cost-effectively connecting offshore wind farms and the scaling up of the offshore wind power grid:

• How can the regulatory and commercial communities come together and create a cost-effective offshore wind power grid infrastructure
• Sessions will focus on policy frameworks, legal and financial challenges and address the practicalities of permitting, installation, cabling and construction risk
