The 2.1 GW Gippsland Dawn Offshore Wind Project, proposed by BlueFloat Energy, has been awarded a feasibility license by the Australian government to further its development plans.
The company expects the project, located between Paradise Beach and Ocean Grange, to begin construction in 2029 and be operational by 2031.
“We will work closely with commercial and recreational fishers and boaters to understand how we can share the ocean,” says Darragh White, Gippsland Dawn’s project director.
“The feasibility license will enable investigation work, including offshore metocean, geophysical and geotechnical investigations. Detailed technical studies and surveys will be completed. Gippsland Dawn will continue to seek feedback and engage closely with stakeholders and the community during every step of the project’s development.”
