Our second Bass Strait project will capture strong winds in deeper waters – extending the local benefits of Star of the South to create a sustainable pipeline of local jobs and economic opportunities in Gippsland.
Proposed project location in Bass Strait
In May 2024 an exclusive feasibility licence was granted within the Gippsland declared offshore wind area, allowing us to undertake site investigations, study the local environment and assess the project’s feasibility.
We will start investigations in the future, with wind and wave monitoring, followed by multiple years of marine environment surveys to build our understanding of local species and conditions. We’ll also look at options for where and how this project could best connect to the grid.
Feasibility, approvals and financing are required to proceed to construction, expected around the end of this decade to deliver on the Victorian offshore wind targets of at least 4GW by 2035 and 9GW by 2040.
Our friendly local team know and love Gippsland. Get in contact with them to learn more about Kut-Wut Brataualung.
