In the context of the European Union and global initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, wind energy is becoming an increasingly important element in achieving decarbonization goals. The Republic of Croatia, as a member of the EU, faces the challenge of how to integrate this renewable energy source into its energy system, especially in the segment of offshore wind farms. The European Union has set ambitious goals for increasing the share of renewable energy sources to at least 42.5% by 2030. This target requires a significant increase in installed capacity, with a planned increase from 204 GW in 2022 to more than 500 GW by 2030. Globally, the targets are even more ambitious, with the need to achieve at least 329 GW of installed capacity per year by 2030 to support the achievement net zero emissions by 2050. Although Croatia has established strategies such as the Low Carbon Development Strategy and the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, there is still a lack of a specific legislative framework that would enable the development of offshore wind farms. Therefore, the development of offshore wind farms in Croatia requires the establishment of a regulatory model inspired by successful examples from the United Kingdom, Denmark, the Netherlands and Italy. These models include legislative frameworks, financial incentives and technical standards for network integration, adapted to the specifics of each country. Therefore, the final thesis includes an analysis of the experience of the mentioned countries, the legal and strategic framework in the Republic of Croatia, possible stakeholders in the development of offshore wind farms, an economic analysis of profitability with the aim of proposing a specific legislative mechanism that would enable the exploitation of offshore wind.
