Luchterduinen is an offshore wind farm in the North Sea, 23 kilometres off the coast near Noordwijk aan Zee. The farm was developed by Eneco and has been fully operational since September 2015.[1]

The wind farm had the working name Q10. A vote was held for a new name. On 15 May 2012, the name Luchterduinen was chosen from 150 submissions, referring to the dunes between Noordwijk and Zandvoort where a building called Huis ter Lucht used to stand.[2]
