Offshore wind
Norway has an ambition to allocate areas for 30,000 MW of offshore wind production by 2040. The first areas for renewable energy production at sea on the Norwegian continental shelf were opened in 2020. Since then, the authorities have been working closely with the industry and other stakeholders to establish the regulations. The first project areas for offshore wind at Utsira Nord and Sørlige Nordsjø II were announced on 29 March 2023.
