exploited these winds to produce clean energy. Given that the
higher average offshore wind speeds can result in an energy
yield of up to 70 percent higher than that generated on land,
it is no wonder that the next 15 years will see an increase in
the number of offshore plants. However, the farther out to
sea, the greater the challenge of ensuring the transmission of
a stable energy supply to the mainland. This challenge is
being met with ABB’s HVDC Light technology.
