Wind turbines at sea, North Holland, Netherlands
Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the use of wind farms constructed in bodies of water, usually in the ocean on the continental shelf, to harvest wind energy to generate electricity. Higher wind speeds are available offshore compared to on land, so offshore wind poweras electricity generation is higher per amount of capacity installed, and NIMBY opposition to construction is usually much weaker. Unlike the typical use of the term offshore in the marine industry, offshore wind power includes inshore water areas such as lakes, fjords and sheltered coastal areas, utilizing traditional fixed-bottom wind turbine technologies, as well as deeper-water areas utilizing floating wind turbines

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of wind turbines at sea, located in North Holland, Netherlands. Offshore wind power has emerged as a groundbreaking solution to harnessing wind energy and generating electricity. Constructed in bodies of water, such as the ocean on the continental shelf, these wind farms take advantage of higher wind speeds available offshore compared to on land. One remarkable aspect of offshore wind power is its ability to generate a greater amount of electricity per capacity installed. This makes it an incredibly efficient source of renewable energy. Additionally, opposition from NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) groups against construction is typically weaker for offshore projects. Contrary to what one might expect when hearing "offshore" this form of sustainable energy production also extends into inshore water areas like lakes, fjords, and sheltered coastal regions. The technology employed ranges from traditional fixed-bottom wind turbine systems used closer to shorelines to more advanced floating wind turbines utilized in deeper-water areas. The mesmerizing image captured by Danita Delimont showcases not only the immense potential that lies within our oceans but also highlights the harmonious relationship between human innovation and environmental preservation. It serves as a reminder that through embracing clean energy solutions like offshore wind power, we can pave the way towards a greener future for generations to come.
