The research evaluates the accuracy and completeness of wind and solar energy infrastructure data in OpenStreetMap (OSM) for Belgium and Ireland, identifying common mapping errors and proposing techniques to enrich available data. By combining OSM data with CORINE Land Cover inventory, we study land use patterns around renewable energy infrastructures, facilitating environmental planning.
