Abstract: Land-use conflicts, along with the increasing demand for green energy and the unexploited offshore wind potential, intensify the necessity of the development of Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs). Their sustainable siting remains still a research gap to be further analysed due to: (i) the need of the insular energy self-efficiency; the great distances from the mainland); (ii) the freeing of land; and (iii) the high unexploited offshore wind potential.
