Results of the study 'Going like the wind'

This map provides a deeper look into wind farm areas and wind speed across Europe.

Average wind speeds for more than 40 historical climate years in 100 meters altitude. Values in m/s.

Legend for Average Wind Speeds

Average electric load for a future 2050 scenario in relation to domestic offshore wind potential as per Maritime Spatial Planning and typical power densities of each country. Offshore target 2050 in GW.

Legend for Offshore potential relative to demand

Correlation of wind speeds across the Baltic and North Sea with reference region: Princess Elisabeth Zone offshore Belgium. Result of a Fourier analysis to calculate the coefficients only for the weekly time horizon. Values in percent.

Legend for Wind Speed Correlations

Consolidation of information on existing and planned wind farms as well as planning areas for potential wind farm development towards 2050.
