When it comes to Spinifex, the 1.2 GW offshore wind farm is planned to cover 265 square kilometres area off Victoria’s Southwest coast. The project is expected to generate enough renewable energy to power approximately 650,000 Victorian homes each year.

“We’ve done a lot of work on the project over almost four years, so it’s great that the project has moved quickly from zone declaration to a feasibility licence being offered. We thank the government for the prompt decision. It puts us in a good position to complete our upcoming seasonal surveys and keep progressing the project,” said Jeff Dimery, Alinta Energy MD and CEO.
