Plausible 2050 offshore wind locations in the North Sea

Waldman, Simon; Munro, Peter; Forster, Rodney

Abstract

This dataset contains a set of points representing plausible locations for offshore wind turbines to have been built in the North Sea by the years 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045 and 2050, based off the national ambitions announced up to August 2022.
The data are given both as shapefile and CSV. Both contain the same points. Coordinates are lat/lon to WGS84 (EPSG 4326).
An additional shapefile gives the zones that contain these wind farms, with predicted years of construction.
