"Offshore wind is dependent on policy frameworks and WindEurope is in Brussels, at the heart of Europe, working with decision makers for solutions that work."
Ulrik Stridbaek
Head of Group, Regulatory Affairs, DONG Energy
Offshore wind is now an international market including 11 EU Member States. There is expected growth from 11 GW in 2015 to 23 GW in 2020 providing a large and long-term market potential in Europe. Cost reduction and post-2020 pipeline are two challenges that require a united industry in Europe.
