A Snapshot of the Illawarra Offshore Wind Farm

"Given the deep water off the coast of NSW, Illawarra Offshore Wind will utilise floating foundation technology where turbines are deployed in water depthsgreater than 70 metres. Wind turbine generators harness the wind’s kinetic energy to convert into electrical energy for transmission.

Electricity will be transmitted from the floating substation to the onshore substation, following transformation via export cables (for example, rated at 330kV capable of carrying up to 600MW per circuit).

The subsea export cables will then traverse land via a shore crossing and continue underground to connection points within onshore substations for connection to the NSW power grid."
