As of 2025 all of Australia's wind capacity is designated as Onshore wind, however in December 2022, the Federal Government officially designated the Bass Strait off Gippsland as Australia's first offshore wind zone. In March 2024 the Victorian government legislated a target of 2GW of Offshore wind power by 2032 and 9GW by 2040. [3]
In 2010, the US Energy Information Agency said "offshore wind power is the most expensive energy generating technology being considered for large scale deployment". [5] The 2010 state of offshore wind power presented economic challenges significantly greater than onshore systems, with prices in the range of 2.5-3.0 million Euro/MW. [36]
This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in the North Sea. This information is gathered from multiple Internet sources, [1] [2] and primarily the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database and is current up to July 2015. The name of the Wind Farm is the name used by the Energy Company when referring to the Farm and is ...
Offshore Center List of offshore wind farms; Renewable UK offshore wind page; Tethys Map Viewer A compilation of documents, U.S. permitting sites, and international Annex IV project sites and research studies on offshore wind developments that are associated with a geographic location.
The wind resource potential in NSW is very good, yet this potential has remained largely untapped. The NSW Wind Atlas [1] shows that many of the sites with good potential for wind farms are situated on the western side of the Great Dividing Range. While the wind is also strong in coastal areas, wind farms are unlikely to be built there due to ...
Neart Na Gaoithe ("strength of the wind" in Gaelic, pronounced [ˈɲarʃd nə gɤ.jə]) is an offshore wind farm under construction in the outer Firth of Forth, 15.5 kilometres (9.6 mi) east of Fife Ness. [1] It has a potential capacity of 450 MW. It is being developed by EDF Renewables and ESB.
An offshore wind port describes several distinct types of port facilities that are used to support manufacturing, construction and operation of an offshore wind power project. Offshore wind turbine components are larger than onshore wind components. Handling of such large components requires special equipment. Transporting of components between ...
