About the program
The program is divided into three sections: Preparations, competence building, and market qualification.
The first part of the program, preparations, deals with early assessments of what is needed to enter the offshore wind market.
The second part, competence building, consists of market descriptions, legal frameworks, technical regulations, and financing arrangements.
The third and final part, market qualification, is still in production.
Innovation Norway hosts the program, which contains contributions from both businesses and the public sector. Export finance Norway, Norwegian Energy Partners, Innovation Norway, DNV and the law firm Haavind have all provided content for the program. Several clusters have also contributed input, such as Energy Valley, Norwegian Offshore Wind, and GCE Ocean Technology.
The program is based on Norsk Industri’s report “Delivery models for offshore wind” which was published last year. The aim of the report was to survey Norwegian competitiveness in the international and national offshore wind market.
