In 2010, the US Energy Information Agency said "offshore wind power is the most expensive energy generating technology being considered for large scale deployment". [5] The 2010 state of offshore wind power presented economic challenges significantly greater than onshore systems, with prices in the range of 2.5-3.0 million Euro/MW. [36]
Map of wind resources in Australia. The abundant wind resources in Australia provide for the country to grow its renewable energy sector. The southern coastline lies in the Roaring Forties. Sites have average wind speeds above 8–9 m/s at turbine hub height. [citation needed] Australian wind farms produce an average capacity factor range of 30 ...
Offshore Center List of offshore wind farms; Renewable UK offshore wind page; Tethys Map Viewer A compilation of documents, U.S. permitting sites, and international Annex IV project sites and research studies on offshore wind developments that are associated with a geographic location.
This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in the North Sea. This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, [1] [2] and primarily the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database and is current up to July 2015. The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is ...

The power available from the wind is a function of the cube of the wind speed, so as wind speed increases, power output increases up to the maximum output for the particular turbine. [82] Areas where winds are stronger and more constant, such as offshore and high-altitude sites, are preferred locations for wind farms.
An offshore wind port describes several distinct types of port facilities that are used to support manufacturing, construction and operation of an offshore wind power project. Offshore wind turbine components are larger than onshore wind components. Handling of such large components requires special equipment. Transporting of components between ...
