GIPPSLAND’S coast looks set to gain yet another offshore wind farm, garnering the backing of all levels of government. Announced publicly on Friday, the proposed Great Eastern Offshore Wind project will be built 22 kilometres from the Wellington Shire coast and power up to 1.6 million households. The project is being pursued by UK-based firm Corio Generation, with the financial
backing of Macquarie Bank’s Green Investment Group. “We see a significant opportunity for offshore wind in Australia, which enjoys an abundance of this natural resource,” Corio Generation chief executive officer Jonathan Cole said. “This, together with clear regulatory frameworks and government support, means offshore wind can contribute to Australia’s energy transition, as well as support local businesses and jobs in the green economy. “While offshore wind is a new technology in
