Offshore wind farms are large groups of wind turbines located in bodies of water, typically in oceans or large lakes. These turbines harness the wind's energy to generate electricity, which is then transmitted to the mainland. Offshore wind farms benefit from stronger and more consistent winds compared to onshore locations, making them an efficient source of renewable energy.
The construction of offshore wind farms involves specialized ships and equipment to install the turbines on the seabed. They play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and are part of the global effort to transition to cleaner energy sources, such as renewable energy and sustainable development.
