About this resource
Topics:
Current electricity, Energy resources and fuels
A real stakeholder engagement advisor recaps the science of wind energy and explains the science of wind farms before students take on a real-life challenge to plan an offshore wind farm. They discover how the sea is used, learn about the viewpoints of a range of stakeholders and refer to maps before going through a group decision-making process, to decide on the best location for the wind farm.
