Offshore Wind

Offshore wind farms harness strong, consistent ocean winds to generate electricity. With higher wind speeds and fewer land constraints, offshore wind offers a reliable and large-scale clean energy solution.

How It Works
Wind rotates a turbine's blades, driving a generator that produces electricity. Offshore turbines send power back to land through a network of underwater cables, integrating with the electricity grid.

Benefits of Offshore Wind
Offshore wind provides greater energy output than onshore wind due to stronger, steadier winds. It reduces carbon emissions, diversifies the energy mix, and supports job creation in coastal regions.

Expanding Offshore Wind
Deployment depends on suitable coastal conditions, including shallow waters for fixed-bottom turbines. The sector is growing rapidly, with floating wind technology unlocking deeper waters and expanding potential locations.
