Wind

Wind energy converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity using turbines. As one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources, it provides a sustainable and clean way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions.

Wind turbines capture the wind’s energy as it spins the blades, which drive a rotor connected to a generator. This process produces electricity, which can power homes, businesses, and industries, contributing to a cleaner energy mix.

Wind energy is renewable, widely available, and produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. It creates jobs, reduces energy imports, and can be deployed both onshore and offshore, diversifying the energy grid.

Wind energy depends on consistent wind speeds and requires space for turbines. Concerns over visual impact, noise, and effects on wildlife, such as birds, are considerations when developing wind projects.

Turbine technology and energy storage are advancing, boosting efficiency and reliability. Global capacity continues to grow as countries set ambitious targets, solidifying wind energy’s role in the sustainable energy transition.
