Sep 2021

Key Factors for Successful Development of Offshore Wind in Emerging Markets distils experiences from established offshore wind markets into key success factors to help emerging markets build successful offshore wind sectors that follow  international good practices while reflecting the unique contexts of each country. The key factors described here are, therefore, directional rather than prescriptive. Although this report’s primary audience is the government officials and stakeholders in low- and middle-income countries, many of the issues and key factors are equally applicable to other countries. The report also recognizes that different stakeholders have different roles to play in a sector’s development; from politicians setting out strategies to port owners planning new facilities. As such, the report intends to support each audience and their particular concerns while also providing an understanding of how their parts are woven into the big-picture.
