Onshore Wind

Onshore wind refers to wind energy generated by wind turbines located on land, as opposed to offshore wind, which is generated from turbines situated in bodies of water, typically at sea. Onshore wind energy harnesses the kinetic energy produced by wind as it moves across the Earth's surface, converting it into electricity through the use of turbine technology. Onshore wind farms can vary in scale, from small turbines for local or rural energy needs to large wind farms that produce substantial amounts of energy for grid supply. The development of onshore wind energy is often considered a key component of renewable energy strategies, as it provides a sustainable source of electricity, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and contributes to mitigating climate change. Factors influencing the success of onshore wind projects include wind resource availability, land use, environmental impact, and local community acceptance.
