IEA on wind & ocean energy

Offshore wind energy and ocean energy (i.e. wave and tidal) are at different stages of technology development and deployment, and, as such, they require different approaches for successful deployment. However, regardless of their deployment stage, these technologies may face common hurdles in their way to market competitiveness.

The Implementing Agreement on Renewable Energy Technology Development of the International Energy Agency (IEA-RETD) has completed a study with the overall objective to assist policy makers and project developers in a better understanding of these barriers and the specifics of offshore renewable energy and to give them practical guidelines. These include an offshore energy deployment framework, substantiated by evidence-based analyses, and recommendations for future policies design, including best practices for allocation of seafloor rights.

Key recommendation for coastal and marine areas is: The main mitigation measures in order to ensure the minimisation of environmental barriers and acceptance from other sea users are early engagement with all stakeholders, appropriate marine spatial planning and adoption of the recommendations from the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
