Netherlands built turbines to make energy — but under the ocean, they “produce” something nobody talks about

Above the waves, the turbines do what they were built to do: generate renewable electricity. Below the surface, they are also “producing” life.

Fish, oysters, and other marine species are beginning to return, turning energy infrastructure into living reef-like environments. What started as a clean energy project is now quietly supporting marine recovery.

In the North Sea, renewable power is no longer just reducing emissions. It’s showing that, with the right design, clean energy can also help life come back — not later, but at the same time.
