AB  - With the increasingly rapid deterioration of the climate, the European Union has established the goal of net-zero emissions by the year 2050 and the increase of offshore wind power generated. While regarded as a technological innovation and high-level solution, offshore wind power raises issues of energy justice, environmental effects, and territorial ownership. This paper examines offshore wind developments within the framework of energy accumulation, blue economy and just green transition strategies. It begins by questioning the dominant discourse of green growth by arguing that current developments illustrate a logic of energy accumulation rather than a break with fossil dependency. The following section examines how the blue economy rearranges ocean spaces, generating conflicts, dispossession in terms of their use, and possible environmental degradation. The last section enters a conversation on approaches to a more just ‘green’ energy transition that promotes hybrid models that fuse technological innovation inherent in eco-modernism with participatory governance and socio-ecological cognisance. This article argues the importance of conceptualise the energy transition not just a technical process, but a political, social, and environmental one, built on trust and community participation.
