Unofficial AI-generated summary based on the public title and abstract. Not an official translation.

🔬研究者:Researchers can use this dataset for spatial analysis, energy system modeling, and validation of remote sensing data.

🏢実務担当者:Energy planners and utilities can leverage the data for site selection, grid connection planning, and capacity assessment.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can adopt similar data quality standards for national renewable energy registries.

Content The data collection contains geolocation and system data on renewable energy installations in Germany . It is provided as GeoPackage (.gpkg) files with point geometries for onshore and offshore wind turbines, photovoltaic field systems, bioenergy systems and their associated combined heat and power plants, hydropower plants, renewable gas production sites, and energy storage systems. In addition, it includes a file with polygon geometries for photovoltaic field systems and the same data in  CSV format . The data set is a  site-verified extract from the Marktstammdatenregister (Core Energy Market Data Register, MaStR ) maintained by the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency, BNetzA) as of February 3, 2026 . System-relevant information was further checked for plausibility and, where necessary, corrected through individual research. The data processing steps are documented in the Git repository :   https://git.ufz.de/manske/regeoloc . A detailed description of the processing workflow is provided in the related article: https://doi.org/10.3390/data7090128 . The article outlines the guiding principles, while the methodology is continuously being refined. Metrics The table presents a executive summary  of the compiled data set compared to the MaStR data extract at the specified cut-off date. data set (V20260203) n records sum capacity n location corrected* records not included from MaStR extract** (n records / sum capacity) Bioenergy 23,562 9562 MW 11,715 25 / 1 MW Cogeneration_Units 13,286 30,293 MW not applicable not applicable Energy_Storage 1348 12,788 MW 306 1 / 0.5 MW Gas_Production 304 86,131 MWh / h 47 57 / not applicable Hydropower 8758 5399 MW 2104 2 / 0.1 MW Solar_Energy_Polygons 10,984 41,823 ha not applicable not applicable Solar_Energy 14,250 35,125 MW 13,497 7744 / 281 MW Wind_Energy 33,433 81,092 MW 4167 1162 / 26 MW *Number of records whose location was adjusted by at least 10 meters. **There are several reasons why certain records were not included. In most cases, they could not be assigned to a specific location due to incorrect or incomplete location information in MaStR. Version History Version Cut-off Date Documentation / Executive Summary  V20260203 2026/02/03 - The changes to the classification of solar energy systems in accordance with the MaStR have been implemented. Further information can be found here [LINK] V20250101 2025/01/01 - Photovoltaic installations in MaStR previously classified as 'Building (Others)' have been reclassified as 'Ground-mounted' where applicable for solar energy systems. - Category 'Big parking lot' has been introduced for solar energy systems. - Additional locations for hydro power plants have been identified. - All wind turbine locations were re-examined. V20240204 2024/01/04 - Category 'Agrivoltaics' has been introduced for solar energy systems. - Related cogeneration units have been additionally added to bioenergy systems. - Energy storage systems have been added to the data set. - Gas production sites have been added to the data set. V20230420 2023/04/20 - Category 'Floating-mounted' has been introduced for solar energy systems.
