Ocean Renewable Energy
Offshore wind has been earmarked as critical if Australia is to decarbonise and meet its net zero emissions targets, and Victoria has a particularly ambitious target of generating about 20 percent of its energy needs from offshore wind within a decade.
Keen to capitalise, a pipeline of industry heavyweights have announced their plans to develop offshore wind projects in Gippsland, which is on course to be home to Australia's first offshore wind project.
