The Spatial Economic Benefit Analysis (SEBA) method was applied and refined by integrating an economic dimension, enabling the estimation of contract values and their geographical allocation. The study covers 18 projects, linking supply chain actors with contract packages to assess spatial concentration. Results show that supply chains tend to cluster: in the UK, a mature industrial belt has developed around the southern North Sea, spanning the British, Belgian, Dutch, and Danish coasts, serving both British and international markets. In Poland, Tier 1 contracts are largely secured by foreign firms, though domestic actors are visible in coastal and metropolitan clusters. With further Baltic development, Poland could become a regional supply hub if policy support improves.}, type={Text}, title={Spatial distribution of economic benefits from offshore wind development: case studies of Poland and the United Kingdom}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/247818/WA51_284492_r2025-t97-z4_Przeg-Geogr-Laskowic.pdf}, keywords={offshore wind, local content, spatial distribution, supply chain, coastal regions, SEBA}, }
