Offshore wind turbine permits go through teething problems

The report identifies many country-specific challenges, but findings from the report have found general teething problems exist across all countries.
Common barriers in the permitting process include regulatory requirements falling under a number of departments (though many countries are now streamlining this aspect); the party politicisation of renewables; long lead times to obtain the necessary permits, and weak spatial planning policies.
Since investment decisions are influenced by the permitting and planning of wind farms, delayed consents can increase the risk profile of an offshore wind project and affect its economic viability. Slow consenting also makes it difficult to schedule resources, and it can prohibit innovation. A slow permitting process can mean that turbine design has moved on by the time developers get around to installing turbines.
The European Offshore Wind Standards, Permitting & Markets report provides real data, fresh statistics and 100% independent analysis on helping to navigate offshore wind energy standards, permitting and markets. The report focuses on standards in Europe?s major offshore wind markets, including UK, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Germany and France.
