Hi all, This weekend I completed the task of going through the REPD dataset (UK planning data) for solar farms. Out of 1058 entries, about 65 were un-spottable,* the rest are in OSM.
We have 908 solar farm objects in OSM for the UK. The REPD list totals about 8.1 GW and we've got approx 6.9 GW explicitly tagged. (Plus 70 of the 908 have no capacity tagged.) Most of the solar farms are in there as power=plant. However, there are plenty that had previously been tagged as power=generator, and I chose not to coerce everything into fixed format. Also, I generally didn't trace the panels (nor even the blocks of panels) within solar farms, I merely drew outlines. So there's plenty of scope to improve the mapping in future! The repd:id tag is really useful for checking back against REPD. Some of the mapped solar farms have multiple IDs (semicolon separated), since there are lots of solar farms which had extensions added in later years. As I said, there were about 65 REPD items I couldn't spot in aerials. Funnily enough, we have a rather similar number (55) of solar farm objects in OSM which have not been associated with a REPD entry nor do we have any capacity tagged for them. (Here's a query for non-repd solar farms: <http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/O9T>) Best Dan P.S. my spreadsheet is still messy, but I updated it as I went, so fwiw: http://mcld.co.uk/tmp/wiki_repd_list_dan.ods * Here are 87 REPD IDs which were either "not seen", or unsure and could do with a second eye: 1098 1176 1233 1304 1325 1332 1494 1515 1546 1550 1587 1611 1620 1716 1746 1817 1827 1838 1840 1900 1908 1914 1975 1981 2013 2015 2027 2044 2060 2075 2082 2089 2104 2176 2204 2237 2252 2274 2324 2364 4713 4740 4844 4857 4861 4874 4884 4896 5006 5063 5093 5149 5152 5164 5190 5232 5255 5265 5320 5322 5330 5360 5398 5412 5440 5443 5450 5472 5485 5499 5506 5512 5525 5543 5559 5593 5603 5631 5650 5793 5891 5945 5977 6007 6019 6108 6328 _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
