Open European offshore wind turbine database

An open  European offshore wind turbine database for mesoscale modelling of European offshore wind farms is presented, containing all operating wind farms as of commissioning date before 2026-01-27. The approach integrates turbine locations from the OpenStreetMap [1] and EMODnet [2] with metadata on turbine and wind farm properties from additional public sources.

The turbine information is augmented with generic thrust and power curves calculated via the pyWake [3] turbine generator [4].

The database will be updated continuously; changes to the previous version of the dataset from August 2025 are documented in the log_update_20260127.txt file.
