Offshore wind resources are by their nature both huge in scale and highly dispersed, considering the ratio of the planet''s surface area that is covered by oceans and seas compared to land mass. Wind speeds offshore are known to be considerably higher than for the equivalent location onshore due to the absence of land mass obstacles and the lower surface roughness of water co

Sending the power ashore. Each offshore wind turbine sends its power through cables down the tower and under the seabed to an offshore substation. Here the energy is stepped up to a higher voltage ready to send ashore via high-voltage cables. Higher voltage means less energy is lost in transmission. On land, another substation adjusts the
