Onshore Wind

Onshore wind refers to the generation of electricity using wind turbines located on land. These turbines harness the kinetic energy of the wind to turn their blades, which drive a generator to produce electricity. Onshore wind farms are usually situated in open areas where winds are strong and consistent, such as plains or coastal regions. This renewable energy source is cost-effective, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and contributes to energy independence. However, it can have impacts on local wildlife and landscapes, which are important considerations in their development and operation.
