offshore wind
Breeze toward sea
Offshore wind refers to wind energy harnessed from turbines installed in bodies of water, typically oceans or large lakes.
The term appears in discussions of renewable energy infrastructure: The country is investing heavily in offshore wind.
Offshore wind farms can capture stronger, more consistent winds than land-based installations, though they cost more to build and maintain.
