PROJECTS TO
POWER OUR
FUTURE

LOCATIONS

Southerly Ten started in Gippsland with Star of the South. Now we’re exploring opportunities to bring offshore wind investment, jobs and energy to other regions across Australia and New Zealand.

Selecting the right locations for offshore wind is critical. First, we seek to understand the local environment, communities, other uses of the ocean, the economics – and of course, the wind.

Our focus is on responsible and sustainable development. For us, it’s about doing things the right way, in the right place, at the right time – and leaving a legacy of clean energy for future generations.

WHY OFFSHORE WIND?

Strong and consistent winds

More power can be harnessed more often from the strong ocean winds. One spin of an offshore wind turbine can power the average Australian home for 48 hours.

Large-scale for more power

Offshore wind projects generate large amounts of electricity really efficiently. Out at sea, projects can be bigger and turbines taller to catch more wind and supply more electricity to the grid.

Regional jobs and investment

Our offshore wind projects are investing in regions that have been powering the nation for generations. These regions know energy. With skilled workers, an established supply chain and existing infrastructure, they are ready to continue this vital role into the future.

For a more resilient system

Offshore wind taps into a unique weather pattern and wind profile, complementing onshore wind, solar, batteries and hydro to create a balanced and resilient renewable energy system - helping get businesses and households the electricity they depend on.

Abundant resource, well-located

We have a vast coastline – it's where most of us live. Generating electricity close to population centres and existing infrastructure means less new transmission is needed to get it from A to B.
