A document seen by Reuters showed that the European Union (EU) will outline guidelines for its member states to jointly develop large-scale renewable energy projects. The goal is to prevent delays that could arise from disagreements over cost-sharing among participating countries.
By establishing clear frameworks and procedures, the EU aims to streamline the development process and promote smoother cooperation among member states in advancing renewable energy initiatives.
As Europe accelerates its transition to low-carbon energy, several countries are gearing up to develop large-scale offshore wind farms and other renewable energy projects that will span across multiple nations.
However, a key challenge is determining how the costs of these ambitious projects will be shared among the governments and companies involved.
The European Commission in Brussels is increasingly concerned that disagreements over cost-sharing could potentially delay or obstruct the development of these critical green energy hubs.

The upcoming European Commission guidelines, expected to be released this week and reviewed by Reuters, will offer governments a framework to negotiate agreements for large offshore renewable energy projects.
The draft said such a scheme “would address investment gaps persistently difficult to fill” for major cross-border energy projects.
