[1/4] A view of the turbines at an offshore wind farm near Nysted, Denmark, September 4, 2023.
Time is short: The EU has a legally binding goal to nearly double renewable sources as a share of total energy by 2030, to 42.5%, requiring a rapid expansion of offshore wind.
But of the governments surveyed, only Britain and Poland said they had invested or budgeted for steps to improve the security of offshore infrastructure.
It requires a lot of effort from the government side," said Mattia Cecchinato, senior adviser for offshore wind at WindEurope.
It said it would establish a permanent coast guard base close to where offshore wind farms are planned.
