Offshore wind is far more reliable than onshore wind. Geography ensures that some ocean locations pretty much always have wind blowing. North Sea wind turbines have a capacity factor of about 60%, approximately double that of onshore wind turbines. The other advantage of offshore is that it can support the truly massive wind turbines. Onshore wind turbines are a lot smaller.
