As a direct successor of NSR Interreg IIIB’s POWER project, it is centred on the development of a strong Offshore Wind Industry (OWI) cluster in the NSR. Core activities include a strengthened stakeholder and business-to-business network, leading to knowledge transfer and bringing together complementary expertise to create more innovation in the sector, energy grid reinforcement across the NSR, developed skills training courses (including higher education and addressing unemployment) to create benefits for restructuring regions, and raise acceptance among the wider public as a basis for wider roll-out of wind energy installations.
