"Wind energy in the BSR" is a project within the framework of the InterregIIIb-programme that unites 29 partners from 10 countries.
It is focussed on the further development and extension of wind energy usage as well as on the promotion of the wind energy idea within the entire Baltic Sea Region.
Interreg III B Project:
Main topic and aim of the project
Technological and planning know-how and experiences especially in Germany and Denmark stand against a growing lack of wind turbine sites in this countries. Little experiences, but growing interest and huge natural potentials in Poland, Finland and the Baltic Republics. First projects of Western-European companies in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Russia face enormous difficulties, caused by an insecure financial situation, the lack of standards, the lack of relevant laws and a difficult co-operation with authorities.
Main project ideas
Improvement of the wind-energy-conditions in less developed areas (image, spatial planning, law, economy)
Promotion of the wind-energy-idea all over the BSR
Initiating international co-operations for an exchange of knowledge, know-how and experiences regarding public work, spatial development, technology, law and economy ... more
