GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME AREA
Due to the relatively small area of Belgian territorial waters and the large number of limiting factors, the range of possible locations for offsore wind power parks is severely limited.
After an evaluation of near-shore projects and public decision-making in this connection, C-Power has made a firm decision in favour of a location outside the 12 mile zone.
After an in-depth study the "Thornton Bank" has turned out to be the best choice of location for a farshore wind farm.
On the maps below you can follow in stages how the location of the wind turbine park is situated in relation to the other uses of the marine areas..
