"This study reviews the prospects of wind power at the global level. Existing studies indicate that the earth's wind energy supply potential significantly exceeds global energy demand. Yet, only 1 percent of the global electricity demand is currently derived from wind power despite 40 percent...

The objective of this study is to review international experience in offshore wind power development and draw on the lessons learned from the experience of different countries. To date, that experience has predominantly been limited to Europe. Significantly different regulatory and physical...

In view of the escalating global problems associated with the environment, energy, and natural resources, especially the increasing sign of global climate change, wind power is receiving more and more high-level attention on a global scale, and it has reached a rapid rate of development as a...

This roadmap provides strategic analysis of the offshore wind development potential in the Philippines, considering the opportunities and challenges under different, hypothetical growth scenarios. The goal is to provide evidence to support the Government of the Philippines in establishing...

This report seeks to inform ongoing discussions on how to accelerate global decarbonization efforts, and the role of concessional finance in supporting such efforts. The report is also intended to complement national efforts to develop policies and strategies in support of offshore wind,...
