Arendal week 2023: Offshore wind in Norway — what next?
Industry in Norway is calling for more renewable electricity in order to accelerate the energy transition and create new jobs in Norway.
2023 is the year in which the first offshore wind licences in Norway will be awarded, at the same time as the global supply chain is experiencing serious financial challenges.
How can Norway ensure that offshore wind becomes the power resource of choice for the future, while at the same time ensuring economic and environmental sustainability at all levels?
