In Australiaearlier this year, the federal government granted the first set of feasibility licenses for six projects off the coast of Gippsland in Victoria, as well as its intention to grant a further six licenses to projects in the region.

If all 12 projects are built, 25GW worth of offshore wind would be brought online.

“Governments around the world are choosing offshore wind for their people and their economies,” said Rebecca Williams, chief strategy officer for offshore wind at GWEC.

We have reached the point in mature markets where the technology is now proven to have the ability to save households money versus conventional energy sources.

“This new wave of offshore wind markets are taking notice and making progress of their own, in some cases outgrowing the ‘emerging’ label thanks to strong collaboration between industry and policymakers. It is vital to continue that cooperation, particularly in this year of significant elections around the world, to ensure targets become turbines and more markets develop in the wake of this decade’s expansion.”
