Session description

This session will discuss the progress in the development of offshore power grids in the North Seas: their novel configurations and regulations needed for investments at the pace needed to reach 2050 targets. It will try to answer the following questions: What offshore grid will emerge from the rapid expansion of offshore wind? How will deploy offshore hybrids at the pace needed? What lessons we can take from the existing offshore hybrid solutions? And how Europe should tackle its investment challenges for the power grid?​
