Italian Market update offshore wind

The webinar will focus on a recent report commissioned by the Norwegian Embassy in Italy giving an overview of the sector and existing plans.  Italy is currently revising its strategy and regulatory framework for offshore wind. A recent government call for interest attracted substantial interest by international actors. Some projects are already under construction.

There is a considerable momentum created by the Next Generation EU recovery plan, of which Italy will receive more than any other EU member state (more than 200 billion Euros), generating major administrative reforms and speeding up transition to renewable energy sources. The current security challenges have also created a new impetus for the Italian energy transition as such, but also for the Mediterranean area in general. These developments open opportunities for Norwegian companies offering products and services within the offshore wind sector.
