SPOWIND

The SPOWIND project (Spatial Planning for Offshore Wind Industry Development) aim addresses offshore wind energy potential in the Mediterranean Sea, overcoming challenges with a marine spatial planning WebGIS tool. This assists stakeholders in decision-making on suitable locations and technologies. Through a maritime data hub and transnational cooperation, the project enhances coordination for sustainable energy production. Support the uptake of new offshore wind technologies (e.g. floating wind turbines) in the Mediterranean basin facilitating access to marine data for Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) and coordination between policymakers and awareness of Quadruple Helix, increasing institutional capacity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), municipalities and Transmission Service Operators by adopting the WebGIS tool, and improving results quality by involving research institutions and Universities.
