They utilize the sea winds to generate electricity. These wind farms either use fixed-foundation turbines or floating wind turbines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fixed-foundation turbine is built in shallow water, whereas a floating wind turbine is built in deeper waters where its foundation is anchored in the seabed. Floating wind farms are still in their infancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offshore wind farms must be at least 200 nautical miles from the shore and 50 feet deep in the ocean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offshore wind turbines produce electricity which is returned to shore through cables buried in the ocean floor. The coastal load centres distribute this electricity based on priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What are the advantages and challenges of Offshore wind energy?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/answeredwhat-are-the-advantages-of-offshore-wind-energy-projects-to-onshore-projects-what-are-the-challenges-for-offshore-projects-in-india\/\"><b>Click Here to read<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: The post is based on the article \u201cNine countries join alliance to boost offshore windpower\u201d published in Economic Times on 10th November 2022.
