Sunlight is one of the cheapest and convenient renewable energy sources it reduces the greenhouse emission in nature. However, the production rate of this renewable photovoltaic energy source isn’t enough to meet the demand of world’s energy consumption.
Researchers have found out that Africa is rich of renewable energy. It can supply energy to most of the continent in 2030 only using solar and wind power .
To test the benefits of the offshore wind power, the first U.S. offshore wind farm was built at Block, Island, Rhode Island. Five wind turbines that would generate a capacity of 30 megawatts was planned to complete. There are already two of these wind turbines built at the area.
