Star of the South 2.2GW Offshore Wind Farm will be located off the south coast of Gippsland in Victoria.

If developed to its full potential, Star of the South would generate up to 2.2GW of new capacity, powering around 1.2 million homes across the State.

Star of the South will have around 200 offshore turbines, multiple offshore substations, and transmission infrastructure connecting to existing infrastructure in the Latrobe Valley.

Offshore wind would complement other forms of electricity generation to create a more reliable system

and deliver lower power prices. We have an exploration licence from the Australian Government to undertake site investigations off the coast of Gippsland.

It typically takes 6-10 years to develop and build an offshore wind project.

Projects like Star of the South will provide clean green electricity for homes, and drive the revival of Victorian manufacturing.

For ETU members, Star of the South will provide a pipeline of jobs through construction, transmission and long-term maintenance.

Our apprentices are the Union’s future..

EV

This year, the ETU launched its Adept Workforce for the Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) Boom Project, supported by a $950K grant from the Victorian State Government’s Workforce Training Innovation Fund.

Through the Centre for U, the ETU will design and pilot accredited training to upskill electricians to support the transition of the vehicle fleet to zero emissions.

The course will ensure that electricians have the skills and knowledge to install charging equipment safely.

ETU is very proud to be part of the evolution of, and provision of, Australia’s first accredited EV Charging Infrastructure course that will upskill 500 licensed electricians in its pilot phase. The course will be rolled out in 2023 and will be available through the Centre for U - home of the ETU and Holmesglen TAFE.

REDEVELOPMENT ARDEN ST.

ith record membership and compulsory CPD and Apprentice Days, together with industrial EBA meetings and training, the Victorian ETU will see over 8,000 electrical workers accessing our Melbourne and regional offices on a yearly basis. To cater for this unprecedented growth and demand, the Branch has committed to major redevelopments of our Melbourne and regional offices..
