CROCODILE aims at fostering offshore wind integration by de-risking offshore infrastructure investments by means of analysing the efficiency of offshore grid market design and
implementation choices with respect to day-ahead markets, balancing needs, reserve sizing and long-term incentive requirements such as power purchase agreements (PPAs). The analysis will be conducted from the perspective of all stakeholders in order to facilitate the participation of large off-takers, citizens, SMEs and local governments. Eventually recommendations will be provided to maximize the welfare impact of offshore investments for all stakeholders.
