With its practical focus, Offshore Wind Licensing will be a beneficial read for legal practitioners, academics, and policymakers seeking to understand renewable energy regulation and the authorisation process for generating offshore renewable electricity. Regulators and legislatures in countries with no offshore wind activity will similarly find this to be an indispensable resource.
