This gap analysis focus on international and national regulations such as highlighting the overall regulations, as well as focusing on the dismantling and repowering topic.
Overall results:
The decommissioning of offshore wind farms lacks an all including regulatory framework. This negatively affects concepts such as liabilities. It also strongly impacts other fields like the planning of the process and the resulting environment. The gap analysis can be used as a guide line for covering the most important difficulties that can confront parties taking on a successful decommissioning.
The identified gaps are:
• the regulations,
• the planning of the process,
• the vessels’ availability
• the environmental impact
