|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OSW project locations and capacity combined with TEC Register dates for OSW projects not yet operational (except ScotWind) | England, Wales & Scotland | Identifies the physical location of operational and planned OSW sites and planned capacity. Inclusion of the TEC Register dates provides a temporal perspective of when planned OSW projects included in the ‘Pathway to 2030’ workstream could be connected | TCE, CES & National Grid ESO TEC Register | https://www.nationalgrideso.com/reports-and-registers | This dataset was created in support of this project and is provided via shapefiles. Data from National Grid ESO’s TEC Register is date stamped 23/02/21. |
| OSW project locations for ScotWind | Scotland | Identifies the physical location of potential OSW development | Access via Marine Scotland | https://data.gov.uk/dataset/be3494d8-4988-41a4-8e98-bd3a74ae9b4c/energy-resourcessectoral-marine-plan-for-offshorewind-energy-plan-options-2020 | Taken from Marine Scotland’s Sectoral Marine Plan, these areas are the strategically planned spatial footprint for offshore wind development in Scotland. |
| OSW export cable agreements | England & Wales | Identifies operational and planned (where known) cable corridors for OSW sites | Access via TCE Open Data Portal - Offshore Wind Cable Agreements (England, Wales & NI), The Crown Estate | The Crown Estate Open Data - Portal (arcgis.com) | https://opendata-thecrownestate.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/thecrownestate::offshore-wind-cable-agreements-england-wales-ni-the-crown-estate?geometry=-21.247%2C50.630%2C20.567%2C55.259 | This dataset represents all current export cables for offshore wind farms in pre-planning, planning, construction and operational phases in English, Welsh & NI waters. The boundaries are a true reflection of what has been signed in the AfL and Lease documents. |
| OSW export cable agreements | Scotland | Identifies operational and planned (where known) cable corridors for OSW sites | Access via Crown Estate Scotland | https://www.crownestatescotland.com/resources/documents | This dataset represents all current export cables for offshore wind farms in pre-planning, planning, construction and operational phases in English, Welsh & NI waters. The boundaries are a true reflection of what has been signed in the AfL and Lease documents. |
