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]
