Wind Power in the Nordic & Baltic Region
25-26 April 2012, Stockholm


Open seminar 27th of April

Strategic initiatives and recommendations for the acceleration of development of offshore wind in the BSR (BASREC-wind)

This seminar provides an in depth-review of the results from the strategic study on offshore wind development in the BSR recently concluded by the Baltic Sea Region Energy Cooperation (BASREC). The focus lies on the potential contribution of BSR offshore wind power to fulfil the EU 20-20-20 and similar national targets in the region but also beyond.

The session will highlight recommended overall and country specific strategic initiatives as well as pointing out the BSR golden locations for large scale offshore wind development. Furthermore in-depth knowledge on the underlying techno-economic assumptions, grid conditions and regulatory situation is provided.

Discussions on the results will form an integral part of the session. All input from the seminar will be condensed into a Stakeholder note supplementing the BASREC-wind reports and national work on offshore wind development.

Participants can also take advantage of extensive knowledge on the environmental impact of offshore wind power developed within the Swedish Vindval (Wind Choice) research programme. Representatives from the programme will be at place to discuss findings and answer questions covering a wide range of topics, such as effects on marine organisms and communities, exclusion of birds, sediment dispersal, acoustic disturbances and others.

Registration for the seminar is free of charge.
