North Sea Wind Power Hub Programme
Offshore wind power is one of the large renewable energy sources (next to onshore wind and solar power) which are
foreseen to ensure the green transition of the European Energy system and support the goal of net zero greenhouse
gas emissions by 2050. The North Sea Wind Power Hub works with Hubs and Spokes concepts to facilitate the
integration of large amounts of offshore wind. Spokes configurations.
The first Pathway study was completed in July 2021, with a report highlighting key results
and perspectives. In parallel, several CBA studies have been performed between the end of 2020 and 2023. The current
study updates previous assumptions and methodologies to explore Offshore Wind integration Pathways in the European
Energy system towards 2050, aiming at identifying specific drivers impacting the Offshore Integration Pathways
