<i>‘Regulatory and legal challenges constitute the core of this magnificent book, which brings together many experts and perspectives on the legal and regulatory framework in different offshore wind energy jurisdictions.’</i>
- Vicente López-Ibor Mayor, European Federation of Energy Law Associations, Spain,
<i>‘This insightful and comprehensive book is an essential reference for practitioners, academics, researchers, or anyone concerned with the contemporary “hot topic” of offshore wind licensing. My colleagues, Prof. I. Herrera Anchustegui and Prof. T. Soliman Hunter, have put together an indispensable global blueprint that will surely become the absolute comparative source for offshore wind licensing.’</i>
- Antonis Metaxas, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Hellenic Energy Regulation Institute, Greece,
<i>‘This book provides valuable insight into offshore wind energy licensing, project planning, regulatory and technological experience.’</i>
- Allan Ingelson, University of Calgary, Canada,
Interdisciplinary in scope, the book provides an extensive analysis of the authorisation processes for wind parks at sea in multiple prominent jurisdictions. In addition, expert contributors representing an array of diverse perspectives examine key themes such as technology, meteorology, and environmental and maritime planning issues, and consider the pivotal role of wind farms in today’s rapidly evolving energy transition landscape.
Key Features:
- Identifies legislative challenges and current regulatory gaps
- Cutting-edge insights into the latest policy and regulatory trends
- Authoritative commentary on established and emerging offshore wind jurisdictions
- Highlights the crucial role of licensing frameworks in the expansion of offshore wind projects
With its practical focus, Offshore Wind Licensing will be a beneficial read for legal practitioners, academics, and policymakers seeking to understand renewable energy regulation and the authorisation process for generating offshore renewable electricity. Regulators and legislatures in countries with no offshore wind activity will similarly find this to be an indispensable resource.
