Offshore Wind Farm

An offshore wind farm is a group of wind turbines installed in bodies of water, usually the ocean or large lakes, to generate electricity. These turbines harness the wind's energy because wind tends to be stronger and more consistent over open water than on land. The turbines convert the wind's force into electrical power, which is then transmitted to the electrical grid for homes, businesses, and industries. Offshore wind farms are a clean, renewable energy source that can produce large amounts of electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
