3.1.2. Optimal windfarm area
The OWA covers 5714 km2 within the SEA area, excluding the Canary Islands. Of this area, 5141 km2 (89.97%) are within the 8 km SEA's seascape restriction band from the shoreline. Of the OWA, only 753 km2 (13.18% of the OWA) is within the new SEA's Suitable or Suitable with conditions zones, representing just 0.7% of both zones. By adopting a mean wind turbine array density of 6 MW/km2, the total installed power production capacity in this physically optimal and environmentally feasible area would roughly be (depending on local wind conditions) of 4518 MW.
