Offshore Wind Licensing

Edited by Ignacio Herrera Anchustegui, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Bergen, Norway and Tina Soliman Hunter, Professor of Energy and Natural Resources Law, and Director of the Centre for Energy Resources Innovation and Transformation (CENRIT), Macquarie University, Australia

This incisive book provides a timely and magisterial analysis of offshore wind licensing processes and their regulation from a global perspective. It not only explores the concept of licensing and the governance frameworks and backgrounds in which licensing rules are developed, but also looks at the crucial legal challenges facing the licensing of offshore wind farms that regulators, legislatures, operators, and legal practitioners are likely to encounter.

‘This book provides valuable insight into offshore wind energy licensing, project planning, regulatory and technological experience.’
