Developing offshore wind energy in Australia

Blue Economy CRC research has highlighted the potential of offshore wind in Australia’s future energy planning. Ongoing work has addressed key preconditions for the development of offshore wind in Australia, addressing social acceptability, law and policy settings, and supply chain operations.

The key to this current work is a commitment to a pre-competitive collaborative approach between the BE CRC and industry and government to support efficacy, integrity and good governance in the development of Australia’s offshore wind industry.

This webinar will cover research insights from BE CRC ‘Preconditions for development offshore wind energy in Australia project:
