It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources from all across the EU. It is updated every year and is available for viewing and download on EMODnet - Human Activities web portal (www.emodnet-humanactivities.eu). The database contains points and/or (where available) polygons representing offshore wind farms in the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom. Each feature has the following attributes (where available): Name, Nº of turbines, Status (Authorised, Operational, Planned, Under Construction), Country, Year, Power (MW), Distance to coast (metres) and Perimeter (kilometres), Surface (square kilometres) only for polygons. The distance to coast (EEA coastline shapefile) has been calculated using the UTM WGS84 Zone projected coordinate system where data fall in. Since the previous version 47 new data was recorded and 55 has been updated for status changes in the points dataset.

Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources, while harmonization is carried out by CETMAR. Information obtained from local sources was cross-checked with information from The Wind Power (www.thewindpower.net) database. For further information on validation and quality assurance, it is suggested that primary data sources are contacted. Generally speaking data are to be considered very reliable, because they come from national sources officially in charge for their collection as well as from well-known private sources.
