Hafrok counts the structures standing in the sea from satellite radar images (≈) and reads the count against the turbines and platforms on record. The farm was built before this count began, so the images show it complete; they cannot date its construction. Rows marked with a dot (·) come from Hafrok’s own registers.

Offshore substationLuchterduinen offshore transformer station (transformatorstation)·owner Eneco — our record carries Eneco 50% / INPEX Corporation 50%, and the 2013 Eneco release records a long-term partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation over the farm. No held document states the structure's ownership separately from the farm's, so it is recorded here as the farm's. The asset was not transferred to a TSO: TenneT's role stops at the onshore 150 kV switching and transformer station at Sassenheim.
