Offshore Wind Policy and Market Assessment – A global outlook 2014

The report seeks to review the experiences to date in six major offshore wind markets including Belgium, China, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany and the UK; as well as to put the sector in the larger context of the industry as a whole. We try to tease out the lessons that may be useful for Indian policymakers as they piece together the policy, regulatory and financing frameworks which will allow for the development of a sustainable, commercially successful industry; which of course must be adapted to both the unique opportunities and challenges of the Indian financial and energy environments.
