The European Wind Energy Association WindEurope demands ambitious targets from the countries bordering the Baltic Sea to make the existing potential of the ocean accessible to offshore wind energy as quickly as possible.

For a long time, the Baltic Sea was considered a difficult terrain for offshore wind energy. Compared to the already well developed North Sea, the soil conditions alone are much more complicated.
