Offshore Wind Composite Siting Exclusions Limited Scenario
This dataset consolidates criteria that restrict the siting of offshore wind energy installations, an update from Zuckerman et al. (2023). The "Limited" scenario excludes areas from wind energy development due to legal or administrative restrictions (e.g., Marine Protected Areas), existing infrastructure (e.g., shipping lanes, oil platforms), and technical constraints (e.g., bathymetry). It also applies stringent siting criteria such as more restrictive setbacks from shore and shallower depth limits on floating technology. This dataset is intended to represent a limited amount of development area for offshore wind energy based on known or emerging restrictions and concerns.

NREL/TP-6A20- 85088. https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/85088.pdf. Within this dataset, floating point values range from 0 to 1, representing the percentage of each grid cell available for development (e.g., a value of 0.8 indicates 80% availability).
