Wind Labs: Just Development of Wind Energy in Northeastern Bulgaria
Edition #3: Factors for Maximizing Local Added Value in Offshore Renewable Energy Infrastructure Planning in the Black Sea
The Applied Research and Communications Fund (ARC Fund) is organizing the third edition of the Wind Ideas Lab, which will take place on September 4, 2024, at 4:00 PM in the Congress Center at the Port of Burgas.
This event aims to bring together stakeholders and experts to discuss and develop fair and effective management practices for the development of wind energy in Northeastern Bulgaria. The discussions will help identify the best strategies and mechanisms to ensure that local communities become the primary beneficiaries of offshore renewable energy projects in the Black Sea.
The Wind Ideas Labs are part of the JustWind4All project, funded under the Horizon Europe program. This project is implemented by 12 partner organizations across 9 European countries. The labs serve as platforms for knowledge exchange and collaboration, focusing on tackling the challenges associated with the deployment and management of wind energy projects.
Key Topics of Edition #3:
- Sustainability and Economic Impact of Offshore Renewable Energy Projects:
- What are the best practices for retaining regional added value during the development of the offshore renewable energy industry?
- What mechanisms can be applied to ensure that local communities and economies are the main beneficiaries of these projects?
- Key stakeholder groups in the process of designating areas for accelerated renewable energy development and methods for engaging them.
- What innovations and technological solutions can support the sustainable development of offshore renewable energy projects and contribute to the region’s economic growth?
- How can we balance technological advancement with environmental protection?
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in interactive sessions, where they can gather proposals and exchange knowledge and experience. This will provide a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with the development of offshore renewable energy infrastructure in the Black Sea.
