Wind energy, also known as wind power, harnesses the natural movement of air to generate electricity through wind turbines. These turbines convert the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy by a generator.

Wind farms, comprising multiple turbines, are typically located in areas with strong, consistent wind patterns, such as rural or offshore locations. The electricity produced is transmitted to substations and then integrated into the power grid for distribution. As a renewable resource, wind energy produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, contributing to environmental sustainability and offering economic benefits through job creation and long-term energy cost reductions.
