offshore wind farm
Ocean energy installation
An offshore wind farm is a group of wind turbines installed in a body of water, typically ocean or sea, to generate electricity.
Offshore locations offer stronger and more consistent winds than land-based sites, though construction and maintenance costs are higher.
The offshore wind farm visible from the coast powers thousands of homes.
