Offshore wind power is wind farms in large bodies of water, usually the sea. These installations can use the more frequent and powerful winds that are available in these locations and have less visual impact on the landscape than land-based projects. However, the construction and maintenance costs are considerably higher. [35] [36]
Wind turbines at Findhorn Ecovillage make the community a net exporter of electricity.. Community wind projects are locally owned by farmers, investors, businesses, schools, utilities, or other public or private entities who utilize wind energy to support and reduce energy costs to the local community.
The project, being developed near Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm— site of the first large-scale wind farms installed in the U.S. in the 1970s and 1980s—is "a powerful illustration of the growing size and scope of modern wind projects". [2] [3] Southern California Edison has agreed to a 25-year power purchase agreement for the power produced as ...
The 2011 NREL report, Large-Scale Offshore Wind Power in the United States, analyzes the current state of the offshore wind energy industry. According to the report, offshore wind resource development would help the country to achieve 20% of its electric power from wind by 2030 and to revitalize the manufacturing sector.

Wind power showed potential for replacing natural gas in electricity generation on a cost basis. By 2021 wind energy produced 4872 terawatts-hour, 2.8% of the total primary energy production [51] and 6.6% of the total electricity production. [52] Technological innovations continue to drive new developments in the application of wind power.
