Offshore wind offers significant potential for emerging markets as a large-scale, clean, and reliable source of electricity that can drive economic growth. However, developing this sector involves navigating complex technical, political, environmental, and social challenges, requiring careful planning and strong government support. This course distills global experiences, highlighting key success factors drawn from both the successes and failures of established offshore wind markets. It helps policymakers adapt international good practices to fit the unique contexts of their countries, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Designed as a companion to the Key Factors for Successful Development of Offshore Wind in Emerging Markets report, it equips decision-makers with essential knowledge to build a sustainable offshore wind sector.
