Data Source

HELCOM HOLAS II Dataset: Cables (2018)

Original Title

Cables

Description

"The dataset was created in order to update the information regarding underwater cables in the Baltic Sea Region for the HELCOM Assessments. Data was collected by the HELCOM Secretariat during 2015 and 2016. The dataset contains information on submarine cables in the Baltic Sea. The dataset is based on available public sources on cables and due to variety of data sources (national and international), should be taken as general data based on best available public data with variable resolution over the different region in the Baltic. For Danish areas, the data represents constructions on Danish territorial waters, authorized facilities and activities from 2015. Depending on area, more accurate spatial data might exist, but data is unavailable for public use. National data submissions from Latvia and Russia were not available.

For 2018 version of dataset, cables that have only approximate location were removed from the dataset, as the spatial accuracy of these objects is not sufficient for the scale of the index.

Methodology

Based on the "Cables" and the "Wind farms" layers a model for the renewable energy scenario in 2016 was created. Only the cables that would be needed to bring the energy from the wind farms to shore are taken into account in the plafform as energy cables. Some geometries might have been simplified for optimization of the platform's performance.
