Renewable energy and industrial development in pioneering and lagging regions: the offshore wind industry in southern Denmark and Normandy
2023
Overview
Abstract
The increasing deployment of renewable energy (RE) hinges on the development and upscaling of manufacturing and logistics capacities, offering industrial development opportunities for regions and countries. In this paper, we analyse how contextual factors pertaining to pre-existing regional assets and multi-scalar institutional environments influence RE-related industrial development at the regional scale. To this avail, we purposefully selected two contrasting regional case studies of offshore wind energy-related industry developments in Southern Denmark (a pioneering region) and Normandy (France, a latecomer region) and discuss developments until 2020. Our qualitative analysis is informed by theoretical and empirical insights from the economic geography and sustainability transitions research fields. The identified contrasting regional path creation processes reflect substantial differences in context conditions, providing insights into how regions can capture value in the ongoing energy transitions.
There has been significant interest regarding the development of new regional green industries and how to promote them to achieve desired objectives, such as meeting national climate goals, industrialization and creating new green jobs. Amid this growing regional and national interest in developing new regional green industries, the paper provides novel insights regarding the key factors that can make some regions more successful while others are less successful.
