Wind farms

Relation tags

• type=site, with site=wind_farm recommended
• power=plant
• plant:source=wind
• plant:output:electricity=number MW – if known (use a '.' dot as decimal separator, the indicated unit is usually 'MW' for megawatts or 'kW' for kilowatts)
• name=* – if known (note that the operator may name it differently than the local authority initially authorizing the plant site, and some local authority may grant a site concession to several operators)
• operator=* – recommended if available (you may want to add source:operator=*); if the site has several operators, you may want to move this tag appropriately on each member generator, or use distinct relations, one per operator with their appropriate generators.
• start_date=2014-04-10 – if known, set the date using the ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm, or yyyy)

Members

• each generator as empty role; usually a single node (possibly an area polygon for a large tower). See power=generator.
• the wind farm substation should get the role substation
• Maritime offshore wind farms may have a reserved area protected from navigation or fishing to protect their generators: that maritime area may be part of the relation. See seamark:type=production_area and seamark:production_area:category=wind_farm (for more details, Seamarks/Categories of Objects#Production areas (CATPRA)).

Notes

• Some people erroneously map the wind farm as landuse=industrial. If you don't want to delete this, you may retag it into landuse=windfarm
