Data sources

ClearSpot is a thin layer on top of public, open datasets. Every module links back to its upstream provider so you can audit the origin and licence of what you see.

Wind turbines

ClearSpot merges several national and regional registers plus OpenStreetMap. Each turbine is stored with an individual latitude and longitude (no commune or park centroids). Counts below reflect rows currently in our database.
