In recent years Europe has seen a great development of renewable energy, in a perspective of reducing polluting emissions and transitioning to cleaner forms of energy, as established by the European Green New Deal. Among the most promising, wind energy has come to cover almost 15% of European electricity needs and is constantly growing. However, if on one side the onshore sites characterized by great wind potential and availability are already occupied by existing wind farms, the same cannot be said for offshore sites. The immense offshore wind potential, characterized by winds with higher availability and productivity than onshore ones, would allow to cover energy needs at ever higher odds and would not lead to further exploitation of the soil.
