Location
45 km off the coast within a 689 km2 licence area.
Kut-Wut Brataualung will harness strong ‘roaring forties’ winds in the deeper waters of the Gippsland Offshore Wind Zone.
Status and timing
Kut-Wut Brataualung is at the earliest stage of development.
We secured a Commonwealth feasibility licence to explore the project’s potential and feasibility in 2024.
If feasible, we’ll seek further environment and planning approvals to proceed to construction in the 2030s, to support Victoria’s energy needs as Latrobe Valley power stations retire.
THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME
The name Kut-Wut Brataualung recognises a family group of the Brataualung people who lived in and around the Toora area.
This name was chosen in consultation with the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation, the Registered Aboriginal Party for this area.
