The European Commission aims to increase renewable energy targets and offshore wind capacity by 2030 and 2050. Different European countries have varying approaches to integrating marine renewable energies (MRE) into their national maritime spatial plans. These plans consider factors like stakeholder involvement, conflicting land uses, and technical considerations for MRE development. The analysis shows differences in MRE targets, strategies, and conflicts with other marine activities, highlighting the need for coordinated planning to support sustainable energy development in the marine environment.
