Baltic Sea energy collaboration and wind energy advancements gaining momentum

The Baltic Offshore Wind Forum, a platform for key stakeholders to discuss offshore wind energy development and regional cooperation, is set to take place during Germany's presidency within the CBSS framework. This high-level event, titled "Energy Security in the Context of Europe's Changing Geopolitical Landscape", will be jointly organised by the Federal Foreign Office, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the German Energy Agency (dena).

Annalena Baerbock, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Denmark, will host the forum. The event will focus on the intersection of energy and security policy, including robust infrastructure, production capacities, and space requirements in the Baltic Sea region.

The forum will be open to both in-person attendees and media representatives. For media representatives seeking additional information or registration details, they can contact the Press Office of the Federal Foreign Office. Registration is currently open, with a deadline set for May 2nd, 2023, and media representatives can register from early May, with further information available from the Press Office of the Federal Foreign Office.

For those unable to attend in person, the forum will be digitally broadcast by the German Energy Agency (dena) via Zoom. This will allow remote participation for those unable to travel. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has implications for energy security in the Baltic Sea region, and offshore wind energy can enhance energy independence in the region and beyond.

Baltic Sea coastal states are working towards enhanced cooperation to accelerate the expansion of renewable energy sources and related infrastructure. The forum aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders to drive the development of offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea region.

The digital broadcast of the forum will be handled by the German Energy Agency (dena) using Zoom. The countries involved in the Baltic Offshore Wind Forum during Germany's presidency within the CBSS framework are not explicitly listed in the available search results. More details about the participating countries will be announced in due course.

Offshore wind energy is a critical component in the transition towards a sustainable energy future. The Baltic Offshore Wind Forum provides an opportunity for stakeholders to come together and discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with offshore wind energy development in the Baltic Sea region.
