We speak to Orsted wind turbine technician Georgia Grace to find out what life is like maintaining an offshore wind farm. Working two weeks on and two weeks off, she helps to keep Race Bank offshore wind farm generating clean electricity for half a million homes. She tells us what it’s like to live and work out at sea, and about some of the luxuries on board!
