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]
The farm consists of 43 Vestas V112 (3 MW) wind turbines with a total capacity of 129 MW. The farm covers an area of approximately 16 square kilometres.[3] it is encompassed by the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm on the northwest, southwest and southeast.
