Offshore Wind Wind Farm Development

Offshore wind farm development involves creating large groups of wind turbines in bodies of water, usually far from shore. These turbines harness wind energy to generate electricity, which is then transmitted to the grid. The process includes site selection, environmental assessments, construction, and ongoing maintenance. Offshore wind farms can produce significant amounts of clean energy, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change. Due to strong and consistent winds over the ocean, they can generate more power than onshore wind farms, making them a key component of many countries' renewable energy strategies.
