Around the Regions | Offshore Initiatives: The Global Offshore Wind Alliance
GWEC'S GLOBAL MARKETS THEATRE AT WINDENERGY HAMBURG
The Government of Denmark, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Global Wind Energy Council have created the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA).
GOWA’s objective is to act as a global driving force for an ambitious uptake of offshore wind and contribute to achieving a total offshore wind capacity of a minimum of 380 GW by 2030 and an installed capacity increase of at least 70 GW per year from 2030.
Members of GOWA:
- Will form a global multi-stakeholder community of practice, collaborating to drive national, regional, and global ambitions and remove barriers to the deployment of offshore wind in new and existing markets.
- Will make individual commitments on how to contribute to GOWA’s objectives, be it as governments, investors, financial institutions, project developers, technology providers, off-takers, international organisations, knowledge institutions, or civil society organisations.
Governments, public and private sector actors, as well as other non-state actors, are invited to be involved in this effort.
In this session, delegates will be presented with a high level overview of GOWA and be introduced to some of the nations that have already joined the alliance. Visiting nations from the alliance will share their perspective and key targets for GOWA.
