Wind turbines under construction, 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 showcases the awe-inspiring sight of wind turbines under construction in North Holland, Netherlands. Offshore wind power is harnessed through the construction of wind farms in bodies of water, particularly on the continental shelf or even within lakes and fjords. The utilization of these offshore locations allows for higher wind speeds compared to land-based installations, resulting in a greater generation capacity for electricity. One remarkable aspect of offshore wind power is its ability to overcome NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) opposition that often plagues onshore projects. With weaker resistance from local communities, these majestic turbines can be erected without hindrance, contributing significantly to sustainable energy production. The term "offshore" here encompasses both traditional fixed-bottom turbine technologies deployed in sheltered coastal areas as well as cutting-edge floating turbines designed for deeper-water locations. This inclusive approach ensures that every potential source of wind energy is tapped into and maximized. Danita Delimont's expertly captured image portrays not only the immense scale and beauty of these structures but also highlights their vital role in combating climate change. As clouds drift above them, symbolizing nature's approval, this photograph serves as a reminder that harnessing renewable energy sources like offshore wind power is crucial for a greener future.
