2. PERSPECTIVES OF OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN MARINE AREAS OF LITHUANIA, POLAND AND RUSSIA, 2007-12-13, PALANGA REASONS FOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION European level European Commission directive 2001/77EC – which encourages use of alternative energy sources including wind energy National level National Sustainable development strategy and National energy Strategy – foresees that 7 % of energy must be produced from alternative energy sources Land use level Limited possibilities for wind farm building in land, high prices of land Economic level Possibilities of investments to wind energy
