The Wind Farms - Areas of Search indicate areas of interest for wind farm development previously identified by stakeholders.
This layer is for information purposes only; it can help deciding which areas to give preference when planning for new wind parks.
This puts no pressure on the ecosystem.

In this tab you can see the information that applies concretely to the North Sea edition of the MSP Challenge, in which this data layer is called "Wind Farms - Designated Areas".
In the North Sea Digitwin edition this layer refers to planned wind farms. Scroll further down for the details over the North Sea Digitwin edition.

In the North Sea Digitwin Edition, the areas where there is identified interest to develop wind farms, are called "Wind Farms - Designated Areas".
This data layer is based on the data layer from the North Sea Edition but with updated data for the Netherlands EEZ using data from Rijkswaterstaat. Last update was carried on 2021/06.
In this edition there is also a geodata layer indicating areas of potential suitability for wind farm development - "Wind Farms - Areas of Search".
The source of that information is Rijkswaterstaat (WMS link) and was accessed on 2019-10.
In the Baltic Sea the potential areas for wind farm development are called "Potential Wind Farms (RI.SE)".
The Potential Wind Farms (RI.SE) are areas with potential for wind energy production in the Baltic Sea, according to Baltic LINes project output provided directly by the project's partners (SwAM, RI.SE). For more info see the full report here).
The types reflect the year the wind farms would be implemented.
