Expansion of Greater Gippsland Offshore Wind Project

Thursday, September 8 2022

Wind Energy – Australia

BlueFloat Energy and Energy Estate expanded the proposed capacity of the Greater Gippsland Offshore Wind Project from 1.275GW to 2.085 GW.

The project is located in the Bass Strait off the coast of Gippsland in Victoria, which last month was declared by the Australian Government as the first area to be assessed for suitability for offshore wind developments.

“It’s no surprise that Gippsland was selected as the first declared area given the region´s obvious advantages – excellent wind resources, a strong skills base with a maritime heritage, a long history of industrial development, and it is home to a well-established offshore energy industry already,” said Nick Sankey, Country Manager for BlueFloat Energy. 

“Projects like the Greater Gippsland Offshore Wind Project will build on the momentum for the accelerated retirement of brown coal-fired power stations and complement the existing and planned transmission infrastructure investments in Gippsland. There is also clear political will and a strong appetite for the necessary renewables-led economic evolution that is coming; this was extremely evident at the successful and well attended Gippsland New Energy Conference held in Sale in August.”
