Offshore Wind Development

Offshore wind development involves building wind turbines in bodies of water, typically on the continental shelf, to generate electricity from wind energy. These turbines harness strong, consistent winds over the ocean or large lakes, producing clean, renewable power with minimal land use. The process includes site assessment, constructing beneath the water’s surface, erecting turbines, and connecting them to the electrical grid. Offshore wind reduces reliance on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and can supply large amounts of electricity to nearby regions, supporting sustainable energy goals and reducing environmental impact.
