POSSIBLE LOCATION WITHIN THE BCS (BELGIAN CONTINENTAL SHELF)

A number of other uses have already been licensed within the BCS.
The area available for new wind farms is therefore severely limited.

1. The various mile zones
2. Sand reclamation areas
3. Military zones
4. Gas pipes and telecom cables
5. Wildlife preservation areas
6. Shipping routes
7. Radar range
8. Flemish sandbanks outside the 12 NM zone
9. Area foreseen for the installation of offshore wind turbines
10. Summary of current wind farm applications within the BCS
