DUBLIN, Ireland — Gippsland Skies Offshore Wind, a consortium comprising Mainstream Renewable Power, Reventus Power, AGL Energy and DIRECT Infrastructure, has secured a feasibility license for the 2.5-GW offshore wind project in the Gippsland region of Victoria, southeast Australia.
Subject to approvals and consultations, detailed studies and offshore and onshore environmental surveys should follow over the next few years. Once feasibility has been proven, the consortium can apply for a commercial license, allowing development to proceed.
The project’s first phase could be operational in 2032.
Five further offshore wind projects in Victoria also gained feasibility licenses: High Sea Wind, Blue Mackerel North, Kut-Wut Brataualung, Ørsted Offshore Australia 1 (Gippsland 01), and Star of the South Wind Farm.
