Supply chain
Supply chain – Wind in our Sails – key elements
• Supply chain is dynamic and responding to challenges
through investments in innovation:

Turbines
Substructures
Electrical infrastructure
Vessels
Ports
KEY MESSAGES
• The European Union leads the world in offshore wind
power with 4,000MW already installed
• This major industrial development will bring a significant
number of jobs and create development opportunities for
European companies
• However, there are still challenges ahead and support is
needed:
– Favourable national framework conditions: NREAPs,
licensing and permitting procedures, maritime spatial
planning, reinforcement of onshore networks
– Support from the EU: stable post-2020 legislative
framework, offshore grid
