overview
Australia’s wind power sector – already one of the country’s main sources of renewable energy – to expand with the announcement of offshore wind zones being proposed for Victoria, the New South Wales and Western Australia regions. With the new Trump Administration’s plans to roll back green subsidies and likely stalling of offshore wind development in North America, Australia is poised to not only benefit from potentially tens of billions of re-directed investments, but also the freeing up of offshore wind infrastructure to Australian projects going forward
Join us in Melbourne on the 3-4 March 2025 for the 5th Australian Offshore Wind Conference as we explore the creation of the next powerhouse industry for Australia’s energy sector.
Topics to be discussed include:
- How Australia’s offshore wind industry can benefit from US policy changes
- Australia’s Offshore Wind Landscape
- Project Updates and Developments
- Logistics and Supply Chain Challenges
- Site investigations
- Navigating environmental assessments
- Local Content in Offshore Wind
- Vision and Strategies
