Wind Power

Wind power is a renewable energy source that uses turbines to harness the power from wind to generate electricity. While wind is a renewable source in that it will never run out, turbines can only generate electricity when the wind is blowing, which makes wind power an intermittent source of energy. Wind turbines can be constructed on land (“onshore”) or offshore. Onshore wind turbines are more common because the technology for offshore wind is much newer and rapidly advancing.

The Public Service Commission’s website has the most up to date information on the progress of the offshore wind project.
