Offshore Wind Energy in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean - Oportunities for Strategic Energy Cooperation with Germany

The symposium is intended to:

1. significantly intensify the public discourse on the production of offshore wind energy and the potential of this energy source in Cyprus and other countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean;
2. contribute to advising policy and energy decision makers in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean region on the potential of offshore wind energy generation in the light of the marine geography of Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean by bringing together expertise from Germany with policy and energy decision makers in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean region in an event format in which media and academia can participate;
3. serve to position Germany as a strategic partner of Cyprus – especially on the economic and entrepreneurial side – on the path to the production of offshore wind energy;
4. initiate feasibility studies of offshore wind energy installations around Cyprus and other countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean and share global best practices;
5. expand the options of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus on medium and long-term energy strategy with the inclusion of offshore wind energy production;
6. transition to a follow-up process for consultations on a Memorandum of Understanding on bilateral cooperation and promotion in the production of offshore wind energy.
