Wind farms eight miles off coast would still be visible
A Santee Cooper-commissioned study says that offshore wind farms located up to eight miles past the shoreline would still be visible from the coast. The photo simulation is part of Santee Cooper’s ongoing research project to determine whether wind farms off South Carolina’s coast could be a viable source of energy. The visibility issue relates to studying the potential impact of wind farms on tourism and commercial and residential real estate.
