• - coordinates of the old and new turbine position;
• - distance between the original and new position;

- whether the new location was included in the expert opinions and plans as a "reserve";

- whether the new location meets the conditions of minimum and maximum distances from neighbouring turbines;

- whether there will be a change in the turbine identification marking, and to what extent;

- whether there will be a change in the turbine navigation marking (this applies in particular to turbines within the farm outline and those planned to be equipped with additional nautical aids - rakons, AIS, special lighting)
