Coastal communities
Offshore wind can be a major industry in Norway and internationally, and coastal communities will be the ones who will notice this industry the most. Both in the form of more green jobs, environmental impact and the supply of new and renewable energy.
Therefore, it is important that we have a good dialogue with the coastal communities, local elected representatives, and other interests to ensure that the projects are locally rooted.
To secure a successful offshore wind project, local anchoring is crucial. We must at all times work closely with the coastal communities and show all the positive ripple effects with offshore wind.
