Six key ports for offshore wind energy in Europe have formed an alliance with the aim of resolving capacity issues. Germany, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands have defined a combined target of delivering at least 65GW offshore wind by 2030.
This prompted Port Esbjerg (Denmark), Port Oostende (Belgium), Groningen Seaports/Eemshaven (the Netherlands), Niedersachsen port/Cuxhaven (Germany), Nantes-Saint Nazaire port (France) and Humber (UK) to forge an alliance. The six ports will meet twice a year to discuss and share insights and knowledge. They will consider sharing work if ports lack capacity to take on entire projects, for instance.
