This meeting, scheduled for next week, will see them sign an agreement for the delivery of 100 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy through large-scale joint projects.

The agreement comes days after US President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of green energy and underscores that the governments of Western and Northern Europe continue to invest in wind power as a way to boost the region’s energy security.

British Energy Minister Ed Miliband stated in a press release that they are thus defending the national interest by promoting clean energy, which can take the United Kingdom off the fossil fuel roller coaster and provide energy sovereignty and abundance.

The North Sea countries agreed in 2023 on a broader target of 300 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050.

The agreement will be signed next Monday at the North Sea Summit by the United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Norway.
