AI answer written only from the numbered passages below
EMODnet, an EU-funded open-data programme, maintains map layers for offshore wind farm locations and status, power and telecommunications cables, pipelines, and the ports and infrastructure supporting offshore assets, harmonised from national sources across EU sea basins including the North Sea 2. Its wind-farm dataset was created in 2014 and updated since, covering point and polygon locations in the Netherlands and neighbouring North Sea countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the UK, Norway and others), with project name, turbine count and generation capacity per site 2. Alongside EMODnet, Noordzeeloket and RVO's own offshore-wind dataset (offshorewind.rvo.nl) are named as open government/EU sources and are the first candidates for a live map of wind farms, platforms, cables and yards, with periodic re-import rather than manual upkeep 1. Update cadence and licence terms should be re-checked at build time, since EMODnet layers are refreshed on the publisher's own schedule rather than continuously 1.

Passage 1: Use for a live map product
Because EMODnet, Noordzeeloket and RVO's own offshore-wind dataset (offshorewind.rvo.nl) are all open government/EU sources rather than commercial ones, they are the first candidates for sourcing a live North Sea infrastructure map — wind farms, platforms, cables and yards — with periodic re-import rather than manual upkeep; their update cadence and licence terms should be re-checked at build time, since EMODnet layers are refreshed on the publisher's own schedule, not continuously.

Passage 2: What EMODnet publishes
EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data Network), an EU-funded open-data programme, maintains map layers covering offshore wind farm locations and status, power and telecommunications cables, pipelines, and the ports and infrastructure that support building and servicing offshore assets, aggregated and harmonised from national sources across EU sea basins including the North Sea. Its wind-farm dataset, created in 2014 and updated since, covers point and polygon locations for wind farms in the Netherlands and neighbouring North Sea countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the UK, Norway and others), with project name, turbine count and generation capacity attached to each site.
