Comparison of the Financial Attractiveness Among Prospective Offshore Wind Parks in Selected European Countries

Offshore wind power is regarded as a crucial renewable energy technology to achieve the ambitious CO2 reduction targets of the EU. However, offshore wind power is not yet competitive with traditional electricity generation technologies, so its sustained development depends on national support policies.
