Abstract

High revenue from oil and gas in Norway and the lack of policy and regulatory framework for offshore wind, have made offshore wind development slow. Licensing falls within the Ocean Energy Act and the Petroleum Act respectively, depending on whether the wind farm will operate independently from, or to supply electricity to, oil and gas installations. In 2023, Hywind Tampen is under construction, consisting of 11 floating turbines for electrical power for two platforms. After strategic field development planning, it is only in 2023 that the first auctions for areas under the Ocean Energy Act will take place. We now see a strong interest in offshore wind, and we expect a focus on marine energy hubs and marine areas for multi-use in the future. We expect innovative marine areas and projects for transformation fulfilling societal needs for energy and food, sustaining marine protected areas and nature.
