Maybe all the response needed was to not award contracts to just UK companies? Oh yeah, they did. Are they seriously complaining because the UK didn’t return their email? Gtf
More pettifogging from the EU. Don’t they have better things to do, like getting off Putin’s oily dick?
>Consortia led by BP, Shell New Energies, Vattenfall, Northland Power, ScottishPower Renewables and Ørsted were among the winners in the first Scottish offshore wind leasing round in over a decade
…
>Notable winners included Spanish energy giant Iberdrola, which was involved in three successful bids for leases that could support up to 7GW of capacity, and Ørsted, which is now planning its first large-scale floating offshore wind farm. Meanwhile, GIG, TotalEnergies and RIDG secured a lease for a site that could support up to 2GW of offshore wind capacity that they say could feed electrolysers to produce green hydrogen.
>Meanwhile, floating wind pioneer Equinor, floating specialist Simply Blue Energy, Italian oil major Eni, US renewables giant Invenergy and Aker Offshore Wind – which had planned to use an underwater substation at its project – were all unsuccessful.
Doesn’t the EU have a similar system in place and a grant system to prioritise research and funding within the EU and to encourage EU members to buy from within the EU.
