Wind power, already linked to every property.

Wind power plants requiring a licence that the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) has processed or is processing, including plants that are under construction or fully or partly in operation. The dataset is central to the ongoing debate on onshore and coastal wind power development. NVE manages it as the licensing authority under the Energy Act.

For developers and investors, the dataset matters for any project that needs large power capacity from the grid (wind power increases available capacity in the region) and for plots in areas being considered for wind power (which can trigger consideration zones and restrictions). For valuers near existing or planned wind farms, the dataset is relevant to valuation, because proximity to wind turbines can affect house prices. Part of Placepoint's map layers for energy.
