Offshore Wind - Page 7

Offshore wind refers to the generation of electricity by harnessing wind energy from wind turbines located in bodies of water, typically in the ocean or large lakes, rather than on land. Offshore wind farms consist of multiple wind turbines installed on platforms or foundations anchored to the seabed. The wind at sea tends to be stronger and more consistent than on land, making offshore wind a significant source of renewable energy. This technology is increasingly used to contribute to clean energy goals, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide sustainable power to coastal regions and beyond, utilizing the natural resource of wind in maritime environments.
