- Policy and Legal framework • 2020 Offshore renewable targets: 750 MW from wind energy
and 100 MW from wave energy;
• Currently (end 2010) there was no MSP being developed;
• However, legislation and planning strategy already in place for
offshore renewables:
– Royal Decree 22/1988 (Coasts law): regulates the uses on the
territorial sea;
– Royal Decree 1028/2007: regulatory framework for licensing
offshore renewables;
– National Plan for Renewable Energies 2011-2020: sets the
targets and establishes tariffs;
– Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for offshore wind
farms, evaluation of sustainable areas for deployment of
offshore wind farms (see Figure 1);

- Permitting and Licensing Licensing:
• RD 1028/2007 establishes the administrative procedure;
• Valid for all offshore renewables;
• Authority responsible for licensing is the Department for
Energy Policy and Mining (DGPEM);
Grid Connection requirements:
• Law 54/1997 is the main electrical sector law;
• RD 1955/2000 names REE as the grid operator and regulates
the transport, distribution, trade and supply activities as well
as grid connection authorization;

- Data and information management Although no MSP is in place in Spain (as in Ireland) the
previous development of a SEA seems to create the
necessary conditions to proceed with the deployment of
marine energies:
• Environmental and social-economic data was used for
the offshore SEA study;
• Data quality may be an issue in some of the datasets;
• Most of the data is detained by the Spanish Central
Administration;
• Not all the data sources are available in GIS format;

Stakeholders, Conflict Management and Regional Cooperation

no conflicts exist with fisheries,
Regional Cooperation:

- Policy and legal framework • 2020 Offshore renewable targets:
– 250 MW from wave energy;
– 75 MW from wind energy;
• Portuguese MSP - the POEM plan:
– Development started in 2008 ( PT Governmental dispatch nº
32277/2008) had a 5-year planned duration and is currently on
the final stages of development;
– The PT MSP addressed all identified uses on the Portuguese EEZ.
• Areas identified for offshore renewables:
– LNEG contributed with the identification of high potential areas for
sustainable offshore wind farms deployment (Figure 1);
– A wave/offshore energy test area has already been defined and
legislated;

Permitting and licensing
• Requires permits from several Ministries;
• Government is evaluating the creation of an unique office for
licensing maritime projects;
• Regulatory framework:
– None defined for offshore wind;
– Wave energy is regulated by law nº 225/2007 that also establishes the
tariffs;
• Technical framework:
– REN (PT TSO) is the responsible body to design the network
reinforcement and to manage and the development of new substations;
– There is specific plans or legislation covering grid connection
requirements, however REN development plans include 500 MW of
offshore wind;

- Stakeholders and Conflict Management Stakeholders involved:
– Public institutions, private companies, sectioral associations as well as
the Portuguese scientific community had an active participation during
the data gathering process;
– Private institutions of maritime transportation, national security, energy
and environment, fisheries and tourism were also involved in POEM
through the participation on thematic workshops;
Conflict Management:
– The involvement from the beginning of the several stakeholders has
guaranteed a wide acceptance (did it?);
– 3 principles are in place to manage possible conflicts: sustainable
development, precautionary approach and eco-systemic approach;

Regional cooperation and MSP implementation -
Cooperation:
• As a signatory state of several international conventions: OSPAR,
Bern and Bonn conventions; Portugal has obligations that have
impact on the maritime spatial planning;
• No direct cooperation with neighboring countries is foreseen in
POEM;
Current status of implementation:
• The public consultation has closed recently (22nd of February
2011) and its conclusions are being analyzed by the authorities;
