Integration of sustainable energy sources at sea

Offshore wind is the powerhouse of the energy transition in the Netherlands, but do the space and infrastructure currently used for offshore wind have even more value?

At Invest-NL, we see potential to broaden the energy landscape and increase its societal value. Over the past few months, Invest-NL, together with Common Futures, has explored the opportunities and barriers to realising wave energy and offshore solar in wind farms on the Dutch North Sea.

Involving parties in the development, installation, regulation, facilitation, financing, and scientific research of wave energy and offshore solar, the possibilities to expand the energy mix and the societal considerations involved are compiled in a valuable report written by Common Futures.
