Resource-based view on the implementation of 6000 MW offshore wind power in the Netherlands

Political objectives and targets are often de ned as a desirable and theoretically possible state, lacking a realistic view on the required resources to achieve this state. The availability of resources, and the time to change this availability, may however impede the implementation speed. In this paper, the preparations are described for such a resource-based view on the implementation of o shore wind power in the Netherlands, in the Dutch part of the North Sea, to help investigate which issues will have to be addressed in the short and long term. The objective is to have a clearer view on the challenges in the availability of required resources for o shore wind farms.
