📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
To Develop 2 GW Kent Offshore Wind Farm project in the Bass Strait, off the Gippsland coast.
Description:
The licence approval grants RWE an exclusive 7-year seabed right to develop the project and also allows the company to apply for a commercial licence to build and operate the wind farm for up to 40 years. The lease area has the potential to host a wind farm with up to 2 GW of capacity, enough to power up to 1.6 million Australian homes with renewable energy. The site is about 67 kilometres off the coast and has an average water depth of 59 metres. The wind farm is expected to become operational in the first half of the 2030s, subject to the timing of the planning and approvals process, secured offtake, and grid connection.
