Offshore Wind Licensing by Tina Soliman Hunter (Editor); Ignacio Herrera Anchustegui (Editor)

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. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book provides an extensive analysis of the authorisation processes for wind parks at sea in multiple prominent jurisdictions. Offshore Wind Licensing will be a beneficial read for legal practitioners, academics, and policymakers seeking to understand renewable energy regulation and the authorisation process for generating offshore renewable electricity.
