Offshore wind energy involves the harvesting of wind power by setting up wind turbines in bodies of water, usually on the seafloor.

Key Points: 
  • Offshore wind energy involves the harvesting of wind power by setting up wind turbines in bodies of water, usually on the seafloor.
  • Owing to the higher wind velocities in offshore locations, offshore wind turbines deliver greater power than their onshore counterparts.
  • Higher offshore wind velocities also translate into higher capacity utilization factors (CUF) verifying the superior performance of offshore wind turbines, with offshore turbines providing a CUF of approximately 38% as compared to 27% for onshore turbines.
  • The growing interest of the corporate sector in procuring wind power to meet its renewable energy targets and the advancements in offshore wind turbine technology boost the demand for offshore wind turbine power.
