On  the one hand, Europe has made ambitious commitments for the expansion of wind  energy infrastructure, with offshore wind representing a significant share of  the new capacity to be deployed. On the other hand, the European Commission has  proposed an EU Nature Restoration Law, which aims to restore 20% of EU&rsquo;s land  and sea ecosystems by 2030.<\/p>\r\n      <p>These twin ambitions can come into conflict, as all infrastructure  has an environmental impact. However, there are opportunities for the offshore wind  and grid sectors to go beyond emissions reduction and apply measures that can not  only minimise environmental risks but contribute to the enhancement of ecosystems.  This is particularly important for the offshore environment, where wind infrastructure,  and consequently the connecting grid, is expected to increase from 30 GW today to  more than 150 GW by 2030.<\/p>\r\n      <p>This event, organised by the <a href=\"https:\/\/renewables-grid.eu\/?ref=annual2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Renewables  Grid Initiative<\/a>, WindEurope, and Members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/offshore-coalition.eu\/?ref=annual2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Offshore Coalition for Energy and Nature<\/a>,  focuses on how to integrate nature into offshore wind and grid infrastructure  by bringing together the perspectives of EU Members States, wind developers, transmission  system operators, and NGOs. We will zoom into the design of offshore auctions and  the relevance of integrating sustainability and biodiversity measures as part  of the selection criteria to award offshore wind projects.<\/p>\r\n<p>For more information please contact <a href=\"mailto:deni@renewables-grid.eu\"><strong>Deni Bellamy<\/strong>.<\/a><\/>\r\n      <hr>\r\n      <h4>Brought to you by<\/h4>\r\n      <div class=\"logos\">\r\n\t\t <a href=\"https:\/\/offshore-coalition.eu\/?ref=annual2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/logos\/events\/ocean.svg\" alt=\"Ocean\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/renewables-grid.eu\/?ref=annual2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/logos\/events\/rgi.svg\" alt=\"Renewable Grids Initiative\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/?ref=annual2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/logos\/events\/windeurope.svg\" alt=\"WindEurope\"><\/a>\r\n\t <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When: Wednesday 26 April, 12:30-15:30 Where: Meeting Room 18 + 19, Level 1 Open to: Invitation only We are at a crossroads where different crises need to be tackled simultaneously: climate change, biodiversity loss, energy security, and economic recovery.
