Web Feature Service (WFS)
Access project, network and turbine geospatial data through a WFS 2.0 compliant interface for GIS tools like QGIS and ArcGIS.
Experimental: The WFS endpoint is in early access.
RenewMap provides a WFS 2.0 compliant service for accessing geospatial data directly from GIS applications. All WFS endpoints return application/xml responses.
