A wind farm or wind park is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. It usually has a name and is operated by an operator. The power delivered is the sum of the power of all wind turbines.

To map a single wind turbine see generator:source=wind.

How to map

Offshore wind farms

Offshore wind farms are usually mapped as areas, which can also be tagged with the appropriate Seamark tags. Draw the outline and add:

• power=plant
• plant:source=wind
• plant:output:electricity=xx MW
• name=*
• operator=*
• start_date=*

Seamark tags:

• seamark:type=production_area
• seamark:production_area:category=wind_farm

Onshore wind farms

See also: Dispersed power plants

Onshore wind farms are usually sited on land which is used for other purposes, without a clear perimeter fence. These are mapped in OpenStreetMap as a dispersed power plant using a relation .

Create a relation and add the wind turbines as members without specifying a role.

Add the following tags:

• type=site
• power=plant
• plant:source=wind
• plant:output:electricity=xx MW
• name=*
• operator=*
