Renewable energy from coastal resources
| Definition : | Installed capacity (MW) of renewable energy infrastructure from offshore wind farms, onshore wind farms and wave and tidal energy |
| Description : | The indicator follows the trends in the installed capacity (in MW) of renewable energy installations in the coastal zone of the sub-regions in the southern North Sea. The coastal zones are particularly interesting for the generation of renewable energy from wind. Wave and tidal energy installations are currently in an experimental phase. Installed capacity does not measure the amount of energy (MWh) actually produced by the installation, but it provides a good measure of the private and public investments, political interest and the relative importance of the coastal zone for eolic and other alternative energy sources, compared to the wider region.. |
