Supporting the SET-Plan implementation plan for offshore WIND energy

Project description

Meeting Europe’s offshore wind energy priorities

The EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) was launched in 2008 and updated in 2015. It coordinates European low-carbon research and innovation activities. As part of its update, several targets were defined for the different technology sectors such as offshore wind energy. The EU-funded SETWIND project supports the ongoing activities of the Working Group for offshore wind energy and facilitates the implementation of the research and innovation priorities through the cross-border coordination of nationally funded projects. It will also update and work with the implementation plan as well as monitor and report on progress towards its targets.

Objective

The SETWind project supports the implementation of the SET-Plan Implementation Plan for Offshore Wind. The proposal has been developed in consultation with the Temporary Working group that authored the Implementation Plan and key stakeholder organisations including ETIPWIND, WindEurope, the EERA Joint Programme for Wind Energy, the IEA Wind TCP and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Petten.

The SETWind project will update and work with the Implementation Plan to maintain it as a dynamic reference point for offshore wind energy research and innovation; it will monitor and report on progress towards the Implementation Plan targets of 1090 million € to be invested in R&I in the offshore sector until 2030; it will strengthen policy coordination in European offshore wind energy R&I policy by supporting the work of the SET-Plan Implementation Group for Offshore Wind; and it will facilitate a breakthrough in the coordination across borders of nationally funded R&I projects.

The SETWind project will be run in the same spirit as it was developed: as a collaborative efforts bringing in European and international stakeholders to translate the Implementation Plan into a living document by updating the research and innovation priorities and implementing these together with relevant stakeholders through nationally funded projects coordinated across borders.
