Offshore wind is emerging as a driving resource for strengthening the security of energy supply in the Baltic Sea region. Given the ongoing energy supply challenges, the Baltic Sea countries are already taking steps to collaborate and accelerate the development of the offshore wind industry in the region. Last year in August, eight Baltic Sea countries pledged to develop 20 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. However, insufficient grid capacity and limited offshore infrastructure pose a huge challenge to realising this ambition.

Global Transmission Report is organising its 4th annual conference on the Baltic Offshore Wind Transmission on November 15, 2023 at Sofitel Warsaw Victoria, Poland. The mission of the conference is to discuss the challenges and explore solutions for the development of the OSW industry and the related transmission infrastructure to meet the region’s energy security goals.

The event will bring together different stakeholders involved in offshore wind energy and grid development in the Baltic Sea region. It will provide an opportunity to meet and learn from policymakers, regulators, project developers, transmission system operators, technology providers, and industry experts.
