wind power

This term refers specifically to the industrial-scale conversion of kinetic energy from wind into electrical energy. It is distinct from "wind energy," which is a broader scientific term encompassing any use of wind, such as sailing or traditional windmills for grinding grain.

As a mass noun, it describes a category of energy production and is never used in the plural. It typically appears in technical, political, or environmental contexts, often paired with adjectives like "renewable," "sustainable," or "offshore" to specify the type of installation.
