wind farm
Renewable power installation
A wind farm is a group of wind turbines in a single location, generating electricity from wind power.
Wind farms may occupy land or water: an offshore wind farm in the North Sea.
The term evokes agricultural imagery—harvesting energy from the air rather than crops from soil.
