Offshore wind energy is the energy obtained from the wind by wind turbines located at sea and is currently the energy with the greatest potential of all renewable energies worldwide. Offshore wind energy consists of converting the energy produced by the movement of wind turbine blades driven by the wind into electrical energy.

Offshore wind energy is a renewable energy source, does not pollute, is inexhaustible and reduces the use of fossil fuels, the source of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. In addition, offshore wind energy is an indigenous energy, available in practically the entire planet, which contributes to reducing energy imports and creating wealth and employment locally.
