Technical and economic challenges for floating offshore wind deployment in Italy and In the Mediterranean Sea

Please take some time to read the following article. The article contains some case histories on floating offshore wind projects in Europe.
[Technical and economic challenges for floating offshore wind deployment in Italy and In the Mediterranean Sea] (https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wene.533)

Offshore wind is nowadays already well developed in the North European countries. Ninety-nine percent of the offshore wind turbines are installed on fixed foundations in shallow waters. For areas with water depth greater than 50–60 m, the floating wind is the cheapest and mostly used technology. This technology is going to reach the commercial phase in a few years, thus disclosing the potential of all marine areas with deep waters close to the coast, including the Mediterranean basin.One of the main challenges for floating offshore wind deployment in this area is the achievement of its economic feasibility.Numerous studies, examined in this article, have already performed a technical-economic assessment of offshore wind farms in different countries and geographical areas within the basin. A significant number of offshore wind projects are already in different stages of development, confirming the industrial interest and readiness of the Mediterranean offshore wind energy sector.

Please use the questions below to help you understand : 1. What difficulties have Mediterranean countries encountered in preparing offshore wind power to achieve decarbonization objectives? 2. What technical challenges did this multi-national cooperation project encounter?
